Let a man who wants to find abundance of employment procure a woman and a ship: for no two things do produce more trouble if you begin to equip them; neither are these two things ever equipped enough.
A woman smells well when she smells of nothing.
He whom the Gods love dies young.
Spice a dish with love and it pleases every palate.
A contented mind is the best source for trouble.
For I know that many good things have happened to many, when least expected; and that many hopes have been disappointed.
