The Reward Of Suffering Is

Don't You Know This, That Words Are Doctors To A Diseased Temperment?

Of All The Gods, Death Only Craves Not Gifts: Nor Sacrifice, Nor Yet Drink-offering Poured Avails; No Altars Hath He, Nor Is Soothed By Hymns Of Praise. From Him Alone Of All The Powers Of Heaven Persuasion Holds Aloof.

Search Well And Be Wise, Nor Believe That Self-willed Pride Will Ever Be Better Than Good Counsel.

Death Is Easier Than A Wretched Life; And Better Never To Have Born Than To Live And Fare Badly.

God's Mouth Knows Not How To Speak Falsehood, But He Brings To Pass Every Word.
