Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year.
I prayed only for a small piece of land, a garden, an ever-flowing spring, and bit of woods.
Fools through false shame, conceal their open wounds.
What does it avail you, if of many thorns only one be removed.
He who preserves a man's life against his will does the same thing as if he slew him.
What's well begun is half done.
