Blessed ... is he who has it in his power to do evil, yet does it not.

I never knew a mocker who was not mocked, a deceiver who was not deceived, or a proud man who was not humbled.

Never shall a man attain to the perfect love of God who has not loved to perfection some creature in this world.

People pretend not to like grapes when the vines are too high for them to reach

Spite will make a woman do more than love.

Blessed ... is he who has it in his power to do evil, yet does it not.

God always helps madmen, lovers, and drunkards.
