When the heart is sick it cannot bear the slightest annoyance.

A frail gift is beauty, which grows less as time draws on, and is devoured by its own years.

He lives well who lives retired, and keeps
His wants within the limits of his means.

Quarrels are the dowry which married folk bring one another.

Time, the devourer of all things.

If you give up your quiet life, the bow of Cupid will lose its power.

There is a god within us, and the heavens
Have intercourse with earth; from realms above
That spirit comes.

The bold adventurer succeeds the best.

Take away leisure and Cupid's bow is broken.

A boar is often held by a not-so-large dog.

It warms the blood, adds luster to the eyes, and wine and love have ever been allies.

Consider the misfortunes of others, and you will be the better able to bear your own.

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a beautiful crop.

There is a divinity within our breast.

Love fed fat soon turns to boredom.

Envy assails the noblest: the winds howl around the highest peaks.

The burden which is well borne becomes light.

Sleep, rest of things, O pleasing Deity,
Peace of the soul, which cares dost crucify,
Weary bodies refresh and mollify.

Thou seest how sloth wastes the sluggish body, as water is corrupted unless it moves.
