For It Would Be Better To Die

If You Are Not Envied, You Are Not Enviable.

Alas For The Affairs Of Men! When They Are Fortunate You Might Compare Them To A Shadow; And If They Are Unfortunate, A Wet Sponge With One Dash Wipes The Picture Away.

Long Tarries Destiny, But Comes To Those Who Pray.

Better To Die On Your Feet Than Live On Your Knees.

And Now It Goes As It Goes And Where It Ends Is Fate. And Neither By Singeing Flesh Nor Tipping Cups Of Wine Nor Shedding Burning Tears Can You Enchant Away The Rigid Fury.
