I Love The Old Way

Young Man, Two Are The Forces Most Precious To Mankind. The First Is Demeter, The Goddess. She Is The Earth -- Or Any Name You Wish To Call Her -- And She Sustains Humanity With Solid Food. Next Came Dionysus, The Son Of The Virgin, Bringing The Counterpart To Bread: Wine And The Blessings Of Life's Flowing Juices. His Blood, The Blood Of The Grape, Lightens The Burden Of Our Mortal Misery. Though Himself A God, It Is His Blood We Pour Out To Offer Thanks To The Gods. And Through Him, We Are Blessed.

Among Mortals Second Thoughts Are Wisest.

I Care For Riches, To Make Gifts.

It Is In Adversity That The Good Show Their Friendship Most Clearly; Prosperity Always Finds Friends.

It Would Not Be Better If Men Got What They Wanted.
