God's mouth knows not how to speak falsehood, but he brings to pass every word.
Ψευδηγορεῖν γὰρ οὐκ ἐπίσταται στόμα
τὸ Δῖον, ἀλλὰ πᾶν ἔπος τελεῖ.
τὸ Δῖον, ἀλλὰ πᾶν ἔπος τελεῖ.

Only when man's life comes to its end in prosperity can one call that man happy.
It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath.
