Men make their choice: one man honors one God, and one another.
Human excellence means nothing Unless it works with the consent of God.
We look for good on earth and cannot recognize it when met.
Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.
Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.
Blood streams in sacrifice; yet anguish finds no cure.
