We shall perish by guile just as we slew.
There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.
The tongue of slander is too prompt with wanton malice to wound the stranger.
Zeus, first cause, prime mover; for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?
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.
God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
