Have friends, not for the sake of receiving, but of giving.
Generosity is more charitable than wealth.
When unhappy, one doubts everything when happy one doubts nothing.
There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts.
What is love? two souls and one flesh; friendship? two bodies and one soul.
Pleasure once tasted satisfies less than the desire experienced for its torments.
