Who wishes to give himself an abundance of business let him equip these two things, a ship and a woman. For no two things involve more business, if you have begun to fit them out. Nor are these two things ever sufficiently adorned, nor is any excess of adornment enough for them.
A woman without paint is like food without salt.
He can do most who has most power.
To snatch the worm from the trap.
That's a miserable and cursed word, to say I had, when what I have is nothing.
That least pleases us which is most urged on us.
