Read the following excerpt from "The Monk's Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer:
With Lucifer, although an angel he
And not a man, I purpose to begin.
For notwithstanding angels cannot be
The sport of fortune, yet he fell though sin
Down into hell, and he is yet therein.
O Lucifer, brightest of angels all.
Now thou art Satan, and canst never win
Out of thy miseries; how great they fall!

Explanation:

I could not find the statements that are missing in your question but I will tell you something more about the themes that are involved in this excerpt so it might help you to find it by yourself.

''The Monk's tale'' is considering various stories about tragedies that are having existential themes and they are focused on the people that are falling into troubles, miseries and their fortune or destiny that is following them.

  • One of the main themes that we can see in this excerpt is that the wheel of fortune is always spinning and the people can fall into misery. Another theme that we can see here is also mutability of life. It is shown in the excerpt because Lucifer was an angel and now he is a Satan, which is two opposites.

Answer:

even the greatest can fall, and there are consequences for sin. {APEX)
