Virtue proceeds through effort.
I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.
Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace into the heart.
The day is for honest men, the night for thieves.
Give a wise man an honest brief to plead and his eloquence is no remarkable achievement.
Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.
