Wine invents nothing; it only tattles.
As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friend and foe.
Sorrows must die with the joys they outnumber.
Love can sun the realms of night.
If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.
Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.
