Nature without exercise is a seed shut up in a pod, and art without practice is nothing.
Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.
What evil is there in seeing a man possess a woman? Why, the beasts would be more free than we!
A man who permits his honor to be taken, permits his life to be taken.
Telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.
Flee laziness which while it produces an immediate delight, ends in the sorrow of repentance. And know that nature without exercise is a seed shut up in the pod, and art without practice is nothing.
