A picture is a poem without words
There is moderation in everything.
It is no easy matter to say commonplace things in an original way.
Those unacquainted with the world take pleasure in intimacy with great men; those who are wiser fear the consequences.
The body, enervated by the excesses of the preceding day, weighs down and prostates the mind also.
Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.
