My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
There is no reward so delightful, no pleasure so exquisite, as having one's work known and acclaimed by those whose applause confers honor.
Nothing can be fairer, or more noble, than the holy fervor of true zeal.
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
We always speak well when we manage to be understood.
