For the dead there are no more toils.

You cannot know a man's life before the man has died, then only can you call it good or bad.

Many the wonders but nothing walks stranger than man.

Chance never helps those who do not help themselves.

Whoe'er imagines prudence all his own, Or deems that he hath powers to speak and judge Such as none other hath, when they are known, They are found shallow.

Dreadful is the mysterious power of fate; there is no deliverance from it by wealth or by war, by walled city or dark, seabeaten ships.

In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
