The Good Is The End Toward Which

In Omni Adversitate Fortunæ, Infelicissimum Genus Est Infortunii Fuisse Felicem In Every Adversity Of Fortune, To Have Been Happy Is The Most Unhappy Kind Of Misfortune.

For In Every Ill-turn Of Fortune The Most Unhappy Sort Of Unfortunate Man Is The One Who Has Been Happy

It's My Belief That History Is A Wheel. 'inconstancy Is My Very Essence,'? Says The Wheel. Rise Up On My Spokes If You Like But Don't Complain When You're Cast Back Down Into The Depths. Good Times Pass Away, But Then So Do The Bad. Mutability Is Our Tragedy, But It's Also Our Hope. The Worst Of Times, Like The Best, Are Always Passing Away.

Man Is So Constituted That He Then Only Excels Other Things When He Knows Himself.

And No Renown Can Render You Well-known: For If You Think That Fame Can Lengthen Life By Mortal Famousness Immortalized, The Day Will Come That Takes Your Fame As Well, And There A Second Death For You Awaits.
