Fate is the same for the man who holds back, the same if he fights hard. We are all held in a single honor, the brave with the weaklings. A man dies still if he has done nothing, as the one who has done much.
How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!
It's man's to fight, but heaven's to give success.
All deaths are hateful to miserable mortals, but the most pitiable death of all is to starve.
Singing is the lowest form of communication.
In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!
