There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change.
The good and the wise lead quiet lives.
Do not mistake the rule of force for true power. Men are not shaped by force.
Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.
When the anger of the gods is incurred, wealth or power only bring more devastating punishment.
I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.
