Who apart from the gods is without pain for his whole lifetime's length?
In war the first casualty is the truth.
Fear is stronger than arms.
I know how men in exile feed on dreams.
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
We shall perish by guile just as we slew.
