Circumstances rule men and not men rule circumstances.
High honors are sweet To a man's heart, but ever They stand close to the brink of grief.
My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged.
The bold are helpless without cleverness.
Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.
We must believe in the gods no longer if injustice is to prevail over justice.
