The true way to gain much is never to desire to gain too much.

Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven.

Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.

It is a word that's quickly spoken, which being unrestrained, a heart is broken

Oh, love will make a dog howl in rhyme.

It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it.

The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much. He is not rich that possesses much, but he that covets no more; and he is not poor that enjoys little, but he that wants too much.
