To die for one's country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.
Flee an enemy who knows your weakness.

An example is often a deceptive mirror, and the order of destiny, so troubling to our thoughts, is not always found written in things past
Ambition, having reached the summit, longs to descend.
