Grief brims itself and flows away in tears.

Take the advice of light when you're looking at linens or jewels; Looking at faces or forms, take the advice of the day.

You will go most safely in the middle.

Pleasure is sweetest when 'tis paid for by another's pain.

When a rose dies, a thorn is left behind.

Occupy yourself, and you will be out of harm's way.

There is no excellency without difficulty.
