Alas! how difficult it is not to betray one's guilt by one's looks.
Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
When you have set yourself a task finish it.
If you count the sunny and the cloudy days of the whole year, you will find that the sunshine predominates.
Sleep ... peace of the soul, who puttest care to flight.
What is allowed us is disagreeable, what is denied us causes us intense desire.
