I hate a woman who offers herself because she ought to do so, and cold and dry thinks of her sewing when making love.

All human things hang on a slender thread, the strongest fall with a sudden crash.

Pride is innate in beauty, and haughtiness is the companion of the fair.

Wine prepares the heart for love, unless you take too much.

Envy assails the noblest: the winds howl around the highest peaks.

Only begin, and you will become eloquent of yourself.

If you give up your quiet life, the bow of Cupid will lose its power.
