Men Hate The Haughty Of

Those Whom God Wishes To Destroy, He First Makes Mad.

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.

This Is Slavery, Not To Speak One's Thought.

It Is Said That Gifts Persuade Even The Gods.

Disaster Appears, To Crush One Man Now, But Afterward Another.
