The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
The great pilot can sail even when his canvass is rent.
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
