Ignorance can be cured, but stupidity is forever

The truth is forced upon us, very quickly, by a foe.

Have you ever, looking up, seen a cloud like to a Centaur, a Part, or a Wolf, or a Bull?

Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.

Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever.

Men of sense often learn from their enemies. It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war.

Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.
