The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.
There is no safety in regaining the favor of an enemy.
Love, like a tear, rises in the eye and falls upon the breast.
To refuse graciously is to confer a favor.
Modest women choose a man by the mind, not the eye.
It is a pitiful fortune that is not without enemies.
