To err is common to all mankind, but having erred he is no longer reckless nor unblest who haven fallen into evil seeks a cure, nor remains unmoved.

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

In season, all is good.

War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.
