Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume.

Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.

Hope and be happy that all's for the best!

Speech is reason's brother, and a kingly prerogative of man.

As thou directest the power, harm or advantage will follow, and the torrent that swept the valley may be led to turn a mill.

When thou choosest a wife, think not only of thyself, but of those God may give thee of her, that they reproach thee not for their being.

Alike to the slave and his oppressor cometh night with sweet refreshment, and half of the life of the most wretched is gladdened by the soothings of sleep.
