You will be melancholy, if you are solitary
While I am speaking the opportunity is lost
When you have set yourself a task finish it
When the heart is sick it cannot bear the slightest annoyance
We always strive for that which is forbidden, and desire that which is denied us
Very slight violence will break that which has once been cracked

Trivial losses often prove great gains
To be thoroughly imbued, with the liberal arts refines the manners, and makes men to be mild and gentle in their conduct
Time rolls on, and we grow old with silent years
