Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Virtue is health, vice is sickness.
Often on earth the gentlest heart is fain To feed and banquet on another's woe.
A good death does honour to a whole life.
For though I am a body of this earth, my firm desire is born from the stars.
Man has no greater enemy than himself. I have acted contrary to my sentiments and inclination; throughout our whole lives we do what we never intended, and what we proposed to do, we leave undone.
