What greater ornament to a son than a father's glory, or to a father than a son's honorable conduct?
For the dead there are no more toils.
To me no profitable speech sounds ill.
Reason is God's crowning gift to man.
Heaven never helps the man who will not help himself
The shimmering night does not stay for mortals, not misfortunes, nor wealth, but in a moment it is gone, and to the turn of another comes joy and loss.
