To ask for power is forcing uphill a stone which after all rolls back again from the summit and seeks in headlong haste the levels of the plain.

What once sprung from the earth sinks back into the earth.

Nothing can be created out of nothing.

Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime.

Rest, brother, rest. Have you done ill or well Rest, rest, There is no God, no gods who dwell Crowned with avenging righteousness on high Nor frowning ministers of their hate in hell.

No matter how difficult a task may look.. Persistence and steady action will get you through

Yet a little while, and (the happy hour) will be over, nor ever more shall we be able to recall it.
