Ruthless Striving, Overcomes Everything.

An Equal Doom Clipp'd Time's Blest Wings Of Peace.

For Virtue Only Finds Eternal Fame.

Where Are The Numerous Constructions Erected By Agrippa, Of Which Only The Pantheon Remains? Where Are The Splendorous Palaces Of The Emperors?

How Fortune Brings To Earth The Over-sure!

I Rejoiced In My Progress, Mourned My Weaknesses, And Commiserated The Universal Instability Of Human Conduct.
