Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
The wooden wall alone should remain unconquered.
Mens fortunes are on a wheel, which in its turning suffers not the same man to prosper for ever.
The sun will not shine on any country that has borders with ours.
Chances rule men and not men chances.
Not snow, no, nor rain, nor heat, nor night keeps them from accomplishing their appointed courses with all speed.
