Tears are at times as eloquent as words
Take time: much may be gained by patience
Small minds are captivated by trifles
Pleasure is often the introduction to pain
No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred
No herb can remedy the anguish of love
Neither shall the wave, which has passed on, ever be recalled; nor can the hour, which has once fled by, return again
Make good use of your time, it flies fast
Mad desire, when it has the most, longs for more
It is but a small merit to observe silence, but it is a grave fault to speak of matters on which we should be silent

On Friendship: "A crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love."
