The glory of wealth and of beauty is fleeting and frail; virtue is illustrious and everlasting.
SallustBut the case has proved that to be true which Appius says in his songs, that each man is the maker of his own fate.

Under all circumstances they suffer with the irrational part of their nature, with which they also sinned. For its sake there subsists that shadowy body which is seen about graves, especially the graves of evil livers.
