The whole wide ether is the eagle's way:
The whole earth is a brave man's fatherland.
Incert. Frag. 866.
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.
