For by the will of the gods Fate hath held sway since ancient days.
He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Zeus does not bring all men's plans to fulfillment.
All that is from the gods is full of Providence.
Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.
With our mortal minds we should seek from the gods that which becomes us.
I wish sometimes that the gods would either choose better, or make their wishes clearer
A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity; but you gods will give us Some faults to make us men.
