I will not steep my speech in lies; the test of any man lies in action.
May God grant me love for that which has splendor; but in this time of my life let me strive for attainable things.
Mother of the Sun, Theia of many names, for your sake men honor gold as more powerful than anything else; and through the value you bestow on them, o queen, ships contending on the sea and yoked teams of horses in swift-whirling contests become marvels.
Water is best, but gold shines like fire blazing in the night, supreme of lordly wealth.
Even success softens not the heart of the envious.
Humble in a humble state and great in greatness, I will work out the divinity that is busy within my mind.
