If one but tell a thing well, it moves on with undying voice, and over the fruitful earth and across the sea goes the bright gleam of noble deeds ever unquenchable.

War is sweet for those who haven't experienced it.

Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity

The present will not long endure.

Mankind is a dream of a shadow.

Water is best, but gold shines like fire blazing in the night, supreme of lordly wealth.

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.
