With life many things are remedied.

Love is influenced by no consideration, recognizes no restraints of reason, and is of the same nature as death, that assails alike the lofty palaces of kings and the humble cabins of shepherds; and when it takes entire possession of a heart, the first thing it does is to banish fear and shame from it.

Valor lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.

Behind the cross is the devil.

Wine taken in moderation never does any harm.

Laws that only threaten, and are not kept, become like the log that was given to the frogs to be their king, which they feared at first, but soon scorned and trampled on.

Never look for birds of this year in the nests of the last.
