It is right for him who asks forgiveness for his offenses to grant it to others.
He who is always in a hurry to be wealthy and immersed in the study of augmenting his fortune has lost the arms of reason and deserted the post of virtue.
A poem is like a painting.
Acquittal of the guilty damns the judge.
When a man is pleased with the lot of others, he is dissatisfied with his own, as a matter of course.
Mighty to inspire new hopes, and able to drown the bitterness of cares.
