Adversity is solitary, while prosperity dwells in a crowd
Have a care lest the wrinkles in the face extend to the heart.
I should rejoice if my pleasures were as pleasing to God as they are to myself.
Gold adulterates one thing only,--the human heart.
Bashfulness is not becoming to maidenhood, though modesty always is.
Mistrust is the sure forerunner of hatred.
Excitement is the drunkenness of the spirits. Only calm waters reflect heaven in their bosom.
The woman who does not choose to love should cut the matter short at once, by holding out no hopes to her suitor.
