O love, when thou gettest dominion over us, we may bid good-by to prudence.
Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire.
Our condition never satisfies us; the present is always the worst. Though Jupiter should grant his request to each, we should continue to importune him.
Learn that every flatterer Lives at the flattered listeners cost.
Still people are dangerous.
The good, we do it; the evil, that is fortune; man is always right, and destiny always wrong.
