Give A Wise Man An Honest Brief To Plead And His Eloquence Is No Remarkable Achievement.

Who Knoweth If To Die Be But To Live, And That Called Life By Mortals Be But Death?

Alas!-but Why Alas? It Is The Lot Of Mortality We Experience.

Enjoy Yourself, Drink, Call The Life You Live Today Your Own; But Only That, The Rest Belongs To Chance.

Since We Are Mortal, Friendships Are Best Kept To A Moderate Level, Rather Than Sharing The Very Depths Of Our Souls.
