Only learn to seize good fortune, for good fortune's always here.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

The flowers of life are but illusions. How many fade away and leave no trace.

A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!

Love and desire are the spirit's wings to great deeds.

One must keep repeating the Truth.

A wife is a gift bestowed upon a man to reconcile him to the loss of paradise.
