How dreadful knowledge of the truth can be when there's no help in the truth.

Alas, how terrible is wisdom
when it brings no profit to the man that's wise!

And if to some my tale seems foolishness I am content that such could count me fool.

It is the merit of a general to impart good news, and to conceal the truth.

It is the task of a good man to help those in misfortune.
