Shame brings no advantage in misfortunes, for silence (of the accused) is the ally of the speaker.
How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes even for a short time.
Oh death, death, why do you never come to me thus summoned always day by day?
The stubbornest of wills Are soonest bended, as the hardest iron, O'er-heated in the fire to brittleness,Flies soonest into fragments, shivered through.
Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.
Even the stout of heart shrink when they see the approach of death.
