War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.

And if my present actions strike you as foolish, let's just say I've been accused of folly by a fool.

Not to be born surpasses all reckoning. The next best thing by far, when one has been born is to go back as swiftly as possible whence one came.

As they say of the blind, Sounds are the things I see.

To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it.

If I am young, then you should look not to age but to deeds.
