Alas!-but Why Alas? It Is The Lot

The Gifts Of Bad Men Bring No Good With Them.

Those Who Have Not, And Live In Want, Are A Menace, Ridden With Envy And Fooled By Demagogues.

Neither Earth Nor Ocean Produces A Creature As Savage And Monstrous As Woman.

Nothing's As Good As Holding On To Safety.

None Can Hold Fortune Still And Make It Last.
