Bitter are the roots of study, but how sweet their fruit.
Blessed be they as virtuous, who when they feel their virile members swollen with lust, visit a brothel rather than grind at some husband's private mill.
The primary virtue is: hold your tongue; who knows how to keep quiet is close to God.
Don't promise twice what you can do at once.
Regard not dreams, since they are but the images of our hopes and fears.
The best way to keep good acts in memory is to refresh them with new.
