Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.
All men's gains are the fruit of venturing.
Illness strikes men when they are exposed to change.
In soft regions are born soft men.
The gods love to punish whatever is greater than the rest.
God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.
