My mind is wholly possessed by Love, who rules every part there of, in virtue of his all-embracing deity.

To have compassion for those who suffer is a human quality which everyone should possess, especially those who have required comfort themselves in the past and have managed to find it in others.

Nothing is so indecent that it cannot be said to another person if the proper words are used to convey it.

Kissed mouth don’t lose its fortune, on the contrary it renews itself just as the moon does.

Although love dwells in gorgeous palaces, and sumptuous apartments, more willingly than in miserable and desolate cottages, it cannot be denied but that he sometimes causes his power to be felt in the gloomy recesses of forests, among the most bleak and rugged mountains, and in the dreary caves of a desert.
