I hate a woman who offers herself because she ought to do so, and cold and dry thinks of her sewing when making love.
He who would not be idle, let him fall in love.
Spare the soul that feels a deadly wound.
It is the act of a coward to wish for death.
A pleasing countenance is no light advantage.
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.
