Fear? What has a man to do with fear? Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown. Best live as we may, from day to day.

No quieras imponer tu voluntad en todo. Pues incluso aquello donde la impusiste no te ha acompañado toda tu vida.

I only ask to live, with pure faith keepingIn word and deed that Law which leaps the sky,Made of no mortal mould, undimmed, unsleepingWhose living godhead does not age or die.

A lie never grows old.

Men are of little worth. Their brief lives last a single day. They cannot hold elusive pleasure fast; It melts away. All laurels wither; all illusions fade; Hopes have been phantoms, shade on air-built shade, since time began.

The powe if fate is something terrible. It cannot be escaped--not with wealth or by war, not with a tower ir a sea-lashed black ship.

Yet I pity the poor wretch, though he's my enemy. He's yoked to an evil delusion, but the same fate could be mine. I see clearly: we who live are all phantoms, fleeing shadows.

What do I care for life when you are dead?

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
