If ye despise the human race, and mortal arms, yet remember that there is a God who is mindful of right and wrong.
How can there be such anger in the minds of the gods?
I feel again a spark of that ancient flame.
In strife who inquires whether stratagem or courage was used?
Fortunate is he whose mind has the power to probe the causes of things and trample underfoot all terrors and inexorable fate.
Come what may, all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance.
