Nothing is miserable unless you think it so.
For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy.
Love has three kinds of origin, namely: suffering, friendship and love. A human love has a corporal and intellectual origin.
Contemplate the extent and stability of the heavens, and then at last cease to admire worthless things.
Give me Thy light, and fix my eyes on Thee!
Love binds people too, in matrimony's sacred bonds where chaste lovers are met, and friends cement their trust and friendship. How happy is mankind, if the love that orders the stars above rules, too, in your hearts.
