There is an ancient saying, famous among men, that thou shouldst not judge fully of a man's life before he dieth, whether it should be called blest or wretched.
To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.
Reverence does not die with mortals, nor does it perish whether they live or die.
Let a man nobly live or nobly die.
To me no profitable speech sounds ill.
What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes!
