Quote
Of all that breathes and crawls across the earth,our mother earth breeds nothing feebler than a man.So long as the gods grant him power, spring in his knees,he thinks he will never suffer affliction down the years.But then, when the happy gods bring on the long hard times,bear them he must, against his will, and steel his heart.Our lives, our mood and mind as we pass across the earth,turn as the days turn...as the father of men and gods make each day dawn.

Quote
I too seemed destined to be a man of fortune onceand a wild wicked swath I cut, indulged my lust for violence,stalking all on my father and my brothers.Look at me now,And so, I say, let no man ever be lawless all his life,just take in peace what gifts the gods will send.
