"I take the gods to witness, I had rather have a fair body than a king's crown" Omnumi pantas theous me helesthai an ten basileos arkhen anti tou kalos einai. That is the form in which one age of the world chose the higher life a perfect world, if the gods could have seemed for ever only fleet and fair, white and red.
Thomas Aquinas, Summa, secunda secundæ, quæstio iv., art. 2. "Qué es Verdad?" Kai gar isôs kai malista prepei mellonta echeise apodêmein diaskopein te kai muthologein peri tês apodêmias tês echei, poian tina autên oiometha einai. PLATO: Phædo. Religion is founded upon faith, hope, and charity, which in their turn are founded upon the feeling of divinity and of God.
Go down into the Vale of Belvoir; watch one of the duke's tenants handing a five-year old over the Smite, and say if the modern agriculturists might not boast with Tydides, "hêmeis dê paterôn meg' ameinones euchometh' einai."

* Euxoman gar autos ego anathema einai apo tou xristou uper tou adelphon mou suggenon mou kata sarxa. Euxoman, rendered in translation by I could wish forms in the imperfect of the indicative mood, in the Auic dialect. Mr. Pool was too accurate a scholar not to observe the disagreement of the translation with the original.
And Llywarch, or Oisin, would never have anticipated the blows of fate; when the blows fell, they would simply have been astonished at fate's presumption. We might quote many instances of this proud pessimism in Homer: Kai se, geron, to prin men, akouomen, olbion einai "Thou to, we hear, old man, e'en thou was at once time happy;" Hos gar epeklosanto theoi deiloisi brotoisin Zoein achnumenous.
