Be not ashamed to have had wild days, but not to have sown your wild oats.

Let him who has once perceived how much that, which has been discarded, excels that which he has longed for, return at once, and seek again that which he despised.

The secret of all good writing is sound judgment.

Let your poem be kept nine years.

Take away the danger and remove the restraint, and wayward nature runs free.

Money amassed either serves us or rules us.

In labouring to be brief, I become obscure.
