The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture.
Whilst you are prosperous you can number many friends; but when the storm comes you are left alone.
Beauty is a frail good.
In the make-up of human beings, intelligence counts for more than our hands, and that is our true strength.
Remove the temptation of idleness and Cupid's bow is useless.
Stop short of your appetite; eat less than you are able.
