Love and war are the same thing, and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other.

Make it thy business to know thyself, which is the most difficult lesson in the world

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.

Until death it is all life.

That which costs little is less valued.

Every one in his own house and God in all of them.

Nor has his death the world deceiv'd than his wondrous life surprise d; if he like a madman liv'd least he like a wise one dy'd.
