Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
