The Meanest Life Is Better

A Man Who Has Been In Danger, When He Comes Out Of It Forgets His Fears, And Sometimes He Forgets His Promises.

Human Misery Must Somewhere Have A Stop; There Is No Wind That Always Blows A Storm; Great Good Fortune Comes To Failure In The End. All Is Change; All Yields Its Place And Goes; To Persevere, Trusting In What Hopes He Has, Is Courage In A Man. The Coward Despairs.

Neither Earth Nor Ocean Produces A Creature As Savage And Monstrous As Woman.

Power Gives No Purchase To The Hand, It Will Not Hold, Soon Perishes, And Greatness Goes.

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