Careful! There is war in women too, as you know by experience, I think.

A mind at peace does not engender wars.

Dreadful is the mysterious power of fate; there is no deliverance from it by wealth or by war, by walled city or dark, seabeaten ships.

It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.

Fate has terrible power. You cannot escape it by wealth or war. No fort will keep it out, no ships outrun it.
