Even the stout of heart shrink when they see the approach of death.

What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes!

Surely, to think your own the only wisdom, and yours the only word, the only will, betrays a shallow spirit, an empty heart.

Isn't it the sweetest mockery to mock our enemies?

Success is the reward for toil.

You must remember that no one lives a life free from pain and suffering.

But this is a true saying among men: the gifts of enemies are no gifts and profitless.
