Beauty is a fragile gift.

The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.

Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.

Minds that are ill at ease are agitated by both hope and fear.

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Fortune and love favor the brave.

All love is vanquished by a succeeding love.

A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man's brow.

An evil life is a kind of death.

Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.

Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.

Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by.

Time is generally the best doctor.

Time, the devourer of all things.

Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships; the poor man everywhere lies low.

First appearance deceives many.

Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.

Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.

Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.

Fair peace becomes men; ferocious anger belongs to beasts.

Like fragile ice anger passes away in time.

Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it there will be a fish.

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be fish.

My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope.

Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.

Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.
