Obedience, you know, is Good Luck's mother, wedded to Salvation, they say.

Art is far feebler than necessity.

Who, except the gods, can live time through forever without any pain?

Only when a man's life comes to its end in prosperity dare we pronounce him happy.

When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.

There is no avoidance in delay.

Wisdom cometh by suffering.
