Tis not always in a physician's power to cure the sick; at times the disease is stronger than trained art.

That you may be beloved, be amiable.

Nothing is stronger than habit.

Things which of themselves avail nothing, when united become powerful.

The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.

Women's words are as light as the doomed leaves whirling in autumn, Easily swept by the wind, easily drowned by the wave.

Art lies by its own artifice.
