Few have greater riches than the joy That comes to us in visions, In dreams which nobody can take away.
I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.
What we look for does not come to pass; God finds a way for what none foresaw.
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head.
Human excellence means nothing Unless it works with the consent of God.
