In Life, The Worst Disasters

In This World Second Thoughts, It Seems, Are Best.

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.

This Is Courage In A Man: To Bear Unflinchingly What Heaven Sends.

Necessity Is Harsh. Fate Has No Reprieve.

The Wisest Men Follow Their Own Direction.
