Some men are like ballads, that are in everyone's mouth a little while.
Interest blinds some people, and enlightens others.
We do not wish ardently for what we desire only through reason.
Those only are despicable who fear to be despised.
As uncommon a thing as true love is, it is yet easier to find than true friendship.
The shame that arises from praise which we do not deserve often makes us do things we should otherwise never have attempted.
