Ask The Gods Nothing Excessive.

The Act Of Evil Breeds Others To Follow, Young Sins In Its Own Likeness.

High Fortune, This In Man's Eye Is God And More Than God Is This.

No Man Looks With Love On Deeds That To The High Gods Hateful Prove.

The Man Who Boldly Transgresses, Amassing A Great Heap Unjustly--by Force, In Time, He Will Strike His Sail, When Trouble Seizes Him As The Yardarm Is Splintered. He Calls On Those Who Hear Nothing And He Struggles In The Midst Of The Whirling Waters. The God Laughs At The Hot-headed Man, Seeing Him, Who Boasted That This Would Never Happen, Exhausted By Distress Without Remedy And Unable To Surmount The Cresting Wave. He Wrecks The Happiness Of His Earlier Life On The Reef Of Justice, And He Perishes Unwept, Unseen.

Good Fortune Is A God Among Men, And More Than A God.
