Do not mistake the rule of force for true power. Men are not shaped by force.
Leave no stone untamed.
There is no bitterness to be compared with that between two people who once loved.
He is not a lover who does not love forever.
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.
Life is short, yet sweet.
