Séneca sobre la tempestad del hombre:

'Por que la tempestad amenaza antes de que estalle, los edificios crujen antes de derrumbarse, el humo avisa el incendio; mas el daño que proviene del hombre es repentino y se oculta con tanta mayor diligencia cuanto más cerca está'.

Who teaches us to write and speak,

To speak in fair and soft terms,

To distinguish truth from falsehood,

To reckon and count all manners of numbers,

The mensuration of lines, superfices, solids,

The proportion, harmony and discords of sound,

The motion of luminaries, planets,

And how to measure their magnitude

and determine the distance of the Infinite.
