Wine, not too much, inspires and make the mind,to the soft joys of Venus strong inclined,which, buried in excess, unapt to love,stupidly lies and knows not hom to move

Simplicity is a jewel rarely found.

While I am speaking the opportunity is lost.

Death is less bitter punishment than death's delay.

The pleasure that is granted to me from a sense of duty ceases to be a pleasure at all.

The heavier crop is ever in others' fields.

The gods behold all righteous actions.
