“You will go most safely by the middle way.”

Dignity and love do not blend well, nor do they continue long together.

Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.

Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.

Time is generally the best doctor.

It’s a kindness that the mind can go where it wishes.

Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.

Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.

And besides, we lovers fear everything.

He who can believe himself well, will be well.

In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.

Sometimes tears carry the same weight as words.

Nothing is stronger than habit.

Poetry comes fine-spun from a mind at peace.

Often the prickly thorn produces tender roses.

I am a shipwrecked man who fears every sea.

Not knowing what he sees, he adores the sight; That false face fools and fuels his delight.
