Sleep, thou repose of all things; sleep, thou gentlest of the deities; thou peace of the mind, from which care flies; who doest soothe the hearts of men wearied with the toils of the day, and refittest them for labor.

Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.

Use the occasion, for it passes swiftly.

Keep thy hook always baited, for a fish lurks even in the most unlikely swim.

Beauty is a fragile gift.

Neglect of appearance becomes men.

Pride is innate in beauty, and haughtiness is the companion of the fair.
