Such As Are Thy Habitual Thoughts, Such

Death Smiles At Us All, All A Man Can Do Is Smile Back.

It Were Well To Die If There Be Gods, And Sad To Live If There Be None.

The Gods Gave Me A Father Who Ruled Over Me And Rid Me Of Any Trace Of Arrogance And Showed Me That One Can Live In A Palace Without Bodyguards, Extravagant Attire, Chandeliers, Statues, And Other Luxuries. He Taught Me That It Is Possible To Live Instead Pretty Much In The Manner Of A Private Citizen Without Losing Any Of The Dignity And Authority A Ruler Must Possess To Discharge His Imperial Duties Effectively.

The Longest-lived And The Shortest-lived Man, When They Come To Die, Lose One And The Same Thing.

It Is A Shame For The Soul To Be First To Give Way In This Life, When Thy Body Does Not Give Way.
