If beggars do not hate the rest of us, they are even more abject than I had imagined.
I obey my own commands about as often as others do.
One who can find lemons sweet and grapes sour is ready for Dame Fortune.
Being charming takes time and effort, and I am busy.
In the street, the gaze of desire is furtive or menacing.
Losing gracefully is commended but never chosen.
