You are my peace, my solace, my salvation.
A husband is a plaster that cures all the ills of girlhood.
What a terrible thing to be a great lord, yet a wicked man.
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
There is no reward so delightful, no pleasure so exquisite, as having one's work known and acclaimed by those whose applause confers honor.
The absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.
