• Though God alone never tastes woe, Yet that man is happy, and poets sing of him, Who conquers with hand or swift foot And wins the greatest of prizes By steadfastness and strength.

    Pindar: Though God alone never tastes woe, 
Yet that man is happy, and poets sing of him, 
Who conquers with hand or swift foot 
And wins the greatest of prizes 
By steadfastness and strength.
    "Pythian odes".
