Painters and poets have equal license in regard to everything.
Mingle a little folly with your wisdom; a little nonsense now and then is pleasant. [Lat., Misce stultitiam consiliis brevem: Dulce est desipere in loco.

The fellow is either a madman or a poet.
All men do not admire and delight in the same objects.
Remember to preserve a calm soul amid difficulties.
