Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two - anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave.

The way of God is complex, he is hard for us to predict. He moves the pieces and they come somehow into a kind of order.

The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children.

You will not achieve happiness if you don't work hard; and it's a shame not to want to work hard.

All men know their children Mean more than life. If childless people sneer- Well, they've less sorrow. But what lonesome luck!

Much effort, much prosperity.
