Disaster appears, to crush one man now, but afterward another.
Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
How dark are all the ways of god to man!
The gift of a bad man can bring no good.
I have found power in the mysteries of thought, exaltation in the changing of the Muses; I have been versed in the reasonings of men; but Fate is stronger than anything I have known.
To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.
