Happy and thrice happy are those who enjoy an uninterrupted union, and whose love, unbroken by any sour complaints, shall not dissolve until the last day of their existence.

Punishment follows close on crime.

As we speak cruel time is fleeing. Seize the day, believing as little as possible in tomorrow.

God has joined the innocent with the guilty.

Noble descent and worth, unless united with wealth, are esteemed no more than seaweed.

Those who go overseas find a change of climate, not a change of soul.

Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul.
