An Ally Need Not Own

Children Are Sweet As The Buds In Spring, But I've Noticed That Those Who Have Them Have Nothing But Trouble All Their Lives.

That Glittering Hope Is Immemorial And Beckons Many Men To Their Undoing.

When The Anger Of The Gods Is Incurred, Wealth Or Power Only Bring More Devastating Punishment.

The Gift Of A Bad Man Can Bring No Good.

Sweet Is The Remembrance Of Troubles When You Are In Safety.
