It is God's giving if we laugh or weep.
If to some my tale seems foolishness I am content that such could count me fool.
Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.
The shimmering night does not stay for mortals, not misfortunes, nor wealth, but in a moment it is gone, and to the turn of another comes joy and loss.
Whenever the deity contrives misfortunes for a man, he first harms their understanding.
Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.
