Pride is innate in beauty, and haughtiness is the companion of the fair.
It is some alleviation to ills we cannot cure to speak of them.
I am above being injured by fortune, though she steals away much, more will remain with me. The blessing I now enjoy transcend fear.
We can learn even from our enemies.
Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
That fair face will as years roll on lose its beauty, and old age will bring its wrinkles to the brow.
