God ever works with those who work with will.
The high strength of men knows no content with limitation.
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!'.
For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.
The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.
Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.
