No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.
Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.
There are as many preferences as there are men.
Is virtue raised by culture, or self-sown?
Amiability shines by its own light.
High descent and meritorious deeds, unless united to wealth, are as useless as seaweed.
