I am above being injured by fortune, though she steals away much, more will remain with me. The blessing I now enjoy transcend fear.
Quarrels are the dowry which married folk bring one another.
Where belief is painful we are slow to believe.
Small minds are captivated by trifles.
Those presents are the most acceptable which are enhanced by our regard for the donor.
The poet's labors are a work of joy, and require peace of mind.
