Laravel - List of all default validation error messages

Question

I'm trying to use the Laravel Validator class for a PHP project that is not made in laravel. Essentially I'm doing something similar to Illuminate Validator in stand-alone non-Laravel application

Here's my code:

        $filesystem = new \Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem();
        $fileLoader = new \Illuminate\Translation\FileLoader($filesystem, '');
        $translator = new \Illuminate\Translation\Translator($fileLoader, 'en_US');

        $messages = [
            'required' => 'The :attribute field is required.',
            'string' => 'The :attribute field must be a string.',
        ];


        $factory = new \Illuminate\Validation\Factory($translator);
        $rules = [
            'title' => 'required'
        ];


        $validator = $factory->make($this->request->post(), $rules, $messages);

        $validator = new \Illuminate\Validation\Validator($translator, $this->request->post(), $rules);
        if ($validator->fails()) {
            $errors = $validator->errors();
            foreach ($errors->all() as $message) {
                var_dump($message);
            }
        }die;

My problem here is that I need to create all the error validation messages myself. I was wondering if there is a way use the default Laravel error messages. I'm even considering setting all those default error messages as one complete array in a seperate file, if I could get those. Any ideas where I can find all the default validation error messages for Laravel?
