Chastity, once lost, cannot be recalled; it goes only once.
Skill makes love unending.
This also, that I live, I consider a gift of God.
All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.
Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.
Love is no assignment for cowards.
