Rare is the union of beauty and purity.
From Juvenal
Many individuals have, like uncut diamonds, shining qualities beneath a rough exterior.
No one ever reached the worst of a vice at one leap.
The traveller with empty pockets will sing in the thief 's face.
All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price.
Censure acquits the raven, but pursues the dove.
I wish it, I command it. Let my will take the place of a reason.
It is difficult not to write satire.
Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.
For women's tears are but the sweat of eyes.
