Fortune and love favor the brave.

Let love steal in disguised as friendship.

Love yields to business. If you seek a way out of love, be busy; you'll be safe then.

Love is a driver, bitter and fierce if you fight and resist him, Easy-going enough once you acknowledge his power.

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

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Love is full of anxious fears.

Whether they give or refuse, it delights women just the same to have been asked.

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

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

Dignity and love do not blend well, nor do they continue long together.

Bear patiently with a rival.

An evil life is a kind of death.

A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

Nothing is stronger than habit.

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

There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Our minds are circumscribed by our immediate reality but we stop short at the thought of it.

In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.

Gifts, believe me, captivate both men and Gods, Jupiter himself was won over and appeased by gifts.

First appearance deceives many.

Enhance and intensify one's vision of that synthesis of truth and beauty which is the highest and deepest reality.

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

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