Oh you who are born of the gods, easy is the descent into Hell. The door of darkness stands open day and night. But to retrace your steps, and come back out into the brightness above, that is the work, that is the labor.
Trust one who has gone through it.
That man is the most loyal who aims at the noblest motive, and that motive the public good.
If I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell.
If I can not bend Heaven, I shall move Hell.
In strife who inquires whether stratagem or courage was used?
