Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance.
As the twig is bent the tree inclines.
He utters empty words he utters sound without mind.
Trust one who has tried.
Love conquers all.
For they can conquer who believe they can.
They can because they think they can.
Fear betrays unworthy souls.
Endure and preserve yourselves for better things.
Every kind of fortune is to be overcome by bearing it.
Knowing sorrow well I learn to succor the distressed.
Happy [is] the man who has learned the cause of things and has put under his feet all fear inexorable fate and the noisy strife of the hell of greed.
Accursed thirst for gold! what dost thou not compel mortals to do?
The hour is ripe and yonder lies the way.
Too happy would you be did ye but know your own advantages!
Fear is the proof of a degenerate mind.
The flocks fear the wolf the crops the storm and the trees the wind.
