Death is less bitter punishment than death's delay.
Chastity, once lost, cannot be recalled; it goes only once.
Love is a thing full of anxious fears.
Brass shines with constant usage, a beautiful dress needs wearing,Leave a house empty, it rots.
O ye gods! what thick encircling darkness blinds the minds of men!
There is nothing in the whole world which abides. All things are in a state of ebb and flow, and every shadow passes away. Even time itself, like a river, is constantly gliding away .
