This is courage in a man: to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends.
I care for riches, to make gifts.
Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace into the heart.
To the ignorant, even the words of wise seem foolishness.
Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.
I think that fortune watcheth o'er our lives, surer than we. But well said: he who strives will find his goals strive for him equally.
