Generosity is more charitable than wealth.

We often experience more regret over the part we have left, than pleasure over the part we have preferred.

The city does not take away, neither does the country give, solitude; solitude is within us.

The Holy Scriptures praise the dew of the morning and the dew of the evening; ros matutinum, ros serotinum! Happy is he who possesses the gift of tears! when young, he will bear flowers; when old, fruit!

Not all of those to whom we do good love us, neither do all those to whom we do evil hate us.

What is love? two souls and one flesh; friendship? two bodies and one soul.

Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes.
