Fortunate is he whose mind has the power to probe the causes of things and trample underfoot all terrors and inexorable fate.
A shifty, fickle object is woman, always. (Varium et mutabile semper femina.)
Fortune sides with he who dares
Endure and save yourselves for happier times.
The only safety for the conquered is to expect no safety.
Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance.
