Neither Earth Nor Ocean Produces A Creature

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.

A Bad Ending Follows A Bad Beginning.

According To Success Do We Gain A Reputation For Judgement.

For The Good, When Praised, Feel Something Of Disgust, If To Excess Commended.

Slight Not What's Near Through Aiming At What's Far.
