I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me.
He who has far to ride spares his horse.
There may be guilt when there is too much virtue.
He who bridles the fury of the billows knows also to put a stop to the secret plans of the wicked. Submitting with respect to His holy will, I fear God, and have no other fear.
By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!
The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one.
