Of Men Who Have A Sense Of

Toil Is The Lot Of All, And Bitter Woe The Fate Of Many.

After The Event, Even A Fool Is Wise.

Better To Live Or Die, Once And For All, Than Die By Inches.

Many Shining Actions Owe Their Success To Chance, Though The General Or Statesman Receive The Applause.

Nothing Feebler Than A Man Does The Earth Raise Up, Of All The Things Which Breathe And Move On The Earth, For He Believes That He Will Never Suffer Evil In The Future, As Long As The Gods Give Him Success And He Flourishes In His Strength; But When The Blessed Gods Bring Sorrows Too To Pass, Even These He Bears, Against His Will, With Steadfast Spirit, For The Thoughts Of Earthly Men Are Like The Day Which The Father Of Gods And Men Brings Upon Them.
