For most men friendship is a faithless harbor.
How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes even for a short time.
Rather throw away that which is dearest to you, your own life, than turn away a good friend.
The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.
A trifle is often pregnant with high importance; the prudent man neglects no circumstance.
Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man; the power that crosses the white sea, driven by the stormy wind, making a path under surges that threaten to engulf him.
