Oh, what a vileness human beauty is; corroding, corrupting everything it touches.

Soon all of you immortals Will be as dead as we are! Come on then, what are you waiting for? Have you run out of thunderbolts?

Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

If all men saw the fair and wise the same men would not have debaters' double strife.

The best prophet is common sense, our native wit.

It was my tongue that swore; my heart is unsworn.

Few have greater riches than the joy That comes to us in visions, In dreams which nobody can take away.
