Mankind is a dream of a shadow.
For lawless joys a bitter ending waits.
Learn what you are and be such.
The race of gods and men is one, and from one mother we both draw our breath. Yet all the difference in our power holds us apart, so that man is nothing, but the brazen floor of heaven is eternally unshakable.
I will not steep my speech in lies; the test of any man lies in action.
To our own sorrows serious heed we give, But for another?s we soon cease to grieve.
