Beyond age, leaf withered, man goes three footed no stronger than a child is, a dream that falters in daylight.
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.
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
The man whose authority is recent is always stern.
When a man takes the road to destruction, the gods help him along.
But I will place this carefully fed pig Within the crackling oven; and, I pray, What nicer dish can e'er be given to man.
