What is god, what is not god, what is between man and god, who shall say?
In adverse hours the friendship of the good shines most; each prosperous day commands its friends.

Nothing happens to man without the permission of God.
Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.
Men honor property above all else; it has the greatest power in human life.
