They succeed, because they think they can
Fury itself supplies arms
Fear is the proof of a degenerate mind
Every sound alarms [A guilty conscience]

Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance
Confidence cannot find a place wherein to rest in safety
All things deteriorate in time
All our sweetest hours fly fastest
Age bears away with it all things, even the powers of the mind
