Easy mind, light heart. A mind that is too easy hides a heart that is too heavy.

The world resembles a stage on which every man is playing a part.

Our castle is not imposing, but is well built, and surrounded by a very fine garden. I live in the bailiff's house.

The manager is to be blamed who distributes parts to his players which they are unable to act.

Above all things, I must not get angry. If I do get angry I knock all the teeth out of the mouth of the poor wretch who has angered me.

I want you for always...days, years, eternities.

Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief.
