All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

There is no real security in it, no decency in it, no faith, hope, nor charity in it.

Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
