It is not safe to despise what Love commands. He reigns supreme, and rules the mighty gods.
The love of fame puts spurs to the mind
Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships, the poor man everywhere lies low.
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
No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred.
There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.
