Terrible Is The Force Of The Waves

To The Ignorant, Even The Words Of Wise Seem Foolishness.

Mankind . . . Possesses Two Supreme Blessings. First Of These Is The Goddess Demeter, Or Earth Whichever Name You Choose To Call Her By. It Was She Who Gave To Man His Nourishment Of Grain. But After Her There Came The Son Of Semele, Who Matched Her Present By Inventing Liquid Wine As His Gift To Man. For Filled With That Good Gift, Suffering Mankind Forgets Its Grief; From It Comes Sleep; With It Oblivion Of The Troubles Of The Day. There Is No Other Medicine For Misery.

Necessity Is Harsh. Fate Has No Reprieve.

When A Man's Stomach Is Full It Makes No Difference Whether He Is Rich Or Poor.

Nothing's As Good As Holding On To Safety.
