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.

Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!'.

Be bold and boast, just like the cock beside the hen.

Black smoke, the flickering sister of fire.

For hostile word let hostile word be paid.

When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?

Time brings all things to pass.
