Painters and poets have equal license in regard to everything.
The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.
The man is either crazy or he is a poet.
The years as they pass plunder us of one thing after another.
Virtue lies half way between two opposite vices.
Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think.
