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

Dripping water hollows out a stone

So long as you are secure you will count many friends; if your life becomes clouded you will be alone.

In an easy cause anyone can be eloquent; the slightest strength is enough to break what is already shattered.

It warms the blood, adds luster to the eyes, and wine and love have ever been allies.

The act is judged of by the event.

Let what is irksome become habitual, no more will it trouble you.
