Alas, poor men, their destiny. When all goes well a shadow will overthrow it. If it be unkind one stroke of a wet sponge wipes all the picture out..

Death hath a fairer fame than a life of toil..

Do not kick against the pricks..

Don't try to make intelligent decisions when your brain is hyped.

Whenever a man makes haste, God too hastens with him..

The gods at will can shape a gladder strain, and from the lamentations at the graveside, a song of triumph may arise..

I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death.

Remember to be submissive, thou art analien, a fugitive, and in need..

Wrong must not win by technicalities..

But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity..

Unjustly men hate death, which is the greatest defence against their many ills..

There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy's hand, when you hate mutually..

The reward of suffering is experience.

The man who does ill, ill must suffer too..

With our own feathers, not by others' hands, Are we now smitten..

I know how men in exile feed on dreams..

Success is man's god..

When a man's willing and eager the god's join in..

The future you shall know when it has come; before then, forget it..

For not many men, the proverb saith, can love a friend whom fortune prospereth unenvying..

It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish..
