Only one accomplishment is beyond both the power and the mercy of the Gods. They cannot make the past as though it had never been.

Time, waxing old, doth all things purify.

There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.

We shall perish by guile just as we slew.

The reward of pain is experience.

I know how men in exile feed on dreams.
