It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.
Song brings of itself a cheerfulness that wakes the heart of joy.
Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.
The new-come stepmother hates the children born to a first wife.
No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.
Life is short; this being so, who would pursue great things and not bear with what is at hand? These are the ways of madmen and men of evil counsel, at least in my judgment.
