Beauty is a fragile gift.
From Ovid
Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
We are ever striving after what is forbidden, and coveting what is denied us.
A man is sorry to be honest for nothing.
The will is commendable though the ability may be wanting.
Love is full of anxious fears.
The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.
No man can purchase his virtue too dear, for it is the only thing whose value must ever increase with the price it has cost us. Our integrity is never worth so much as when we have parted with our all to keep it.
Everything comes gradually and at its appointed hour.
