Happy the person who has learned the cause of things and has put under his or her feet all fear, inexorable fate, and the noisy strife of the hell of greed.
How can there be such anger in the minds of the gods?
From a single crime know the nation.
I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts.
All our sweetest hours fly fastest.
Harsh necessity, and the newness of my kingdom, force me to do such things and to guard my frontiers everywhere.
