Kindness gives birth to kindness.
The stubbornest of wills Are soonest bended, as the hardest iron, O'er-heated in the fire to brittleness,Flies soonest into fragments, shivered through.
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Whoever gets up and comes to grips with Love like a boxer is a fool.
Men should pledge themselves to nothing; for reflection makes a liar of their resolution.
The truth is ever best.
