Do Not Mistake For Wisdom

Better A Serpent Than A Stepmother!

Sound Judgement, With Discernment Is The Best Of Seers

The Wisest Men Follow Their Own Direction.

I Know Indeed What Evil I Intend To Do, But Stronger Than All My Afterthoughts Is My Fury, Fury That Brings Upon Mortals The Greatest Evils.

I Have Found Power In The Mysteries Of Thought, Exaltation In The Changing Of The Muses; I Have Been Versed In The Reasonings Of Men; But Fate Is Stronger Than Anything I Have Known.
