Beauty is a frail good.
Only the mind cannot be sent into exile.
Haste is productive of injury, and so is too much hesitation. He is the wisest man who does everything at the proper time.
Gold will buy the highest honours; and gold will purchase love.
Fair peace is becoming to men; fierce anger belongs to beasts.
There is no such thing as pure, unalloyed pleasure; some bitter ever mingles with the sweet.
