Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
What house, bloated with luxury, ever became prosperous without a woman's excellence?
But the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.
Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.
Whatever God has brought about Is to be borne with courage.
Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.
