It is foolish to fear that which you cannot avoid. -Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes
I have often regretted having spoken, never having kept silent.
The eyes start love; intimacy perfects it.
The eyes see not what is before them when the mind is intent on other matters.
If what must be given is given willingly the kindness is doubled.
Necessity gives the law and does not itself receive it.
