When a man is pleased with the lot of others, he is dissatisfied with his own, as a matter of course.

Nor has he spent his life badly who has passed it in privacy.

Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul.

Poets wish to profit or to please.

One Sallow does not make Summer.

Of writing well the source and fountainhead is wise thinking.

Dare to begin! He who postpones living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
