Remembrances last longer than present realities.
It is easy to flatter; it is harder to praise.
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
The purer the golden vessel, the more readily is it bent; the higher worth of woman is sooner lost than that of man.
