Every fool stands convinced; and everyone convinced is a fool. The faultier a person's judgement the firmer their convictions.
Beauty and folly are generally companions.
Harness the imagination, for she is the whole of happiness.
The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.
The true way is the middle one, halfway between deserving a place and pushing oneself into it.
The truest wild beasts live in the most populous places.
