A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Hate the sin and love the sinner. Traditional saying - not first said by him.

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.
