He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
God loves to help him who strives to help himself.
The power that holds the sky's majesty wins our worship.
God always strives together with those who strive.
The saying goes that the gods leave a town once it is captured.
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
