All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.

It is not easy to bear prosperity unruffled.

It is not safe to despise what Love commands. He reigns supreme, and rules the mighty gods.

A safe pleasure is a tame pleasure.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

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

Few people want the pleasures they are free to take.
