“I know how men in exile feed on dreams”

“I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death”

“They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn”

“It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.”

“But the lust for power never dies- men cannot have enough.No one will lift a hand to send it from his door, to give it warning, 'Power, never come again!”

“Wisdom comes through suffering.Trouble, with its memories of pain,Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,So men against their willLearn to practice moderation.Favours come to us from gods.”
