“And besides, we lovers fear everything.”

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.

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.

There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap, even of the briefest, than in all the alcohol ever distilled.

At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.

God himself helps those who dare.

You will go most safely by the middle way.

All things change; nothing perishes.
