Fate has terrible power. You cannot escape it by wealth or war. No fort will keep it out, no ships outrun it.

Not to be born surpasses all reckoning. The next best thing by far, when one has been born is to go back as swiftly as possible whence one came.

A lie never lives to be old.

For this I see, that we, all we that live, Are but vain shadows, unsubstantial dreams.

Time, which sees all things, has found you out.

For the dead there are no more toils.

A man is nothing but breath and shadow.
