Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
Evil men by their own nature cannot ever prosper.
Power gives no purchase to the hand, it will not hold, soon perishes, and greatness goes.
If all men saw the fair and wise the same men would not have debaters' double strife.
What we look for does not come to pass; God finds a way for what none foresaw.
Numbers are a fearful thing.
