Drummer, beat out the stroke, but keep it easy.
But the people need more than a leader. They must believe the gods have not deserted them.
Have you come to pray to the gods? -If I had, I wouldn't have chosen a fallen one. Only a statue.
But the gods have gone too far with me. They can punish a man so much, and then one day he abandons them.
The gods are best served by those who want their help least.
