The whole wide ether is the eagle's way:
The whole earth is a brave man's fatherland.

Incert. Frag. 866.

[61]

A young man should be always doing, daring;
For no slack heart or hand was ever famous.
'Tis toil and danger that beget fair fame.

Archelaus, 233.

Who seeks to lead a life of unstirred pleasure
Cannot win fame: fame is the meed of travail.

Ibid. 234.

A life of pleasure and unmanly sloth
Could never raise a house or State to honor.

Ibid. 235.

Fair honor is the child of countless toils.
