Vulgarity of manners defiles fine garments more than mud.

I much prefer a compliment, even if insincere, to sincere criticism.

Riches, rightly used, breed delight.

Wine is a cunning wrestler.

I regard that man as lost, who has lost his sense of shame.

He who falls in love meets a worse fate than he who leaps from a rock.

If you want to do something, do it!
