I value fame as much as if I had been born a Hero.
Love, like reputation, once fled, never returns more.
Affectation hath always had a greater share both in the action and discourse of men than truth and judgment have.
Tis Love alone can make our Fetters please.
Nothing is more capable of troubling our reason, and consuming our health, than secret notions of jealousy in solitude.
As love is the most noble and divine passion of the soul, so is it that to which we may justly attribute all the real satisfactions of life, and without it, man is unfinished, and unhappy.
