Life is largely a matter of expectation.
Enjoy the present day, trust the least possible to the future.
Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future.
Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
Sometimes even excellent Homer nods.
The just man having a firm grasp of his intentions, neither the heated passions of his fellow men ordaining something awful, nor a tyrant staring him in the face, will shake in his convictions.
