A good disposition is a virtue in itself, and it is lasting; the burden of the years cannot depress it, and love that is founded on it endures to the end.

Love conquers all things; let us own her dominion.

Presents, believe me, seduce both men and gods.

An injury may prove a blessing.

Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.

What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless.

Courage conquers all things.
