Seek not to know what must not be reveal, for joy only flows where fate is most concealed. A busy person would find their sorrows much more; if future fortunes were known before!
The winds are out of breath.

He made all countries where he came his own.
Learn to write well, or not to write at all.
Content with poverty, my soul I arm; And virtue, though in rags, will keep me warm.
