Our temper sets a price upon every gift that we receive from fortune.

A man's worth has its season, like fruit.

We forgive just so long as we love.

Love has its name borrowed by a great number of dealings and affairs that are attributed to it--in which it has no greater part than the Doge in what is done at Venice.

Nothing is more ridiculous in old people that were once good-looking, than to forget that they are not so still.

In love we often doubt what we most believe.

Philosophy easily triumphs over past and future ills; but present ills triumph over philosophy.
