Time itself flows on with constant motion, just like a river: for no more than a river can the fleeting hour stand still. As wave is driven on by wave, and, itself pursued, pursues the one before, so the moments of time at once flee and follow, and are ever new.

A pleasing countenance is no light advantage.

Wine gives courage and makes men more apt for passion.

Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.

Love is a believing creature.

Fair peace is becoming to men; fierce anger belongs to beasts.

Love that is fed by jealousy dies hard.
