Taxes are a universal burden in moral as well as in civil life. There is not a pleasure, social or otherwise, which is not assessed by fate at its full value!
In love matters; keep your pen from paper.
The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.
The heart that once has been your shrine for other loves is too divine
The costliest women are the ones who cost nothing.
A happy memory is perhaps on this earth truer than happiness itself.
