Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
The woman who has the best perfume is she who has none.
It is best to know the worst at once.
He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.
Your tittle-tattlers, and those who listen to slander, by my good will should all be hanged - the former by their tongues, the latter by the ears.
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
