Love is a kind of warfare.
Keep a mid course between two extremes.
We can learn even from our enemies.
In prosperity you may count on many friends; if the sky becomes overcast you will be alone.
There is no such thing as pure, unalloyed pleasure; some bitter ever mingles with the sweet.
Let me tell you I am better acquainted with you for a long absence, as men are with themselves for a long affliction: absence does but hold off a friend, to make one see him the truer.
