"A good conscience is a continual feast. "

"Hence it is clear how much more cruel the pen is than the sword. "

"Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top. "

"No cord or cable can draw so forcibly, or bind so fast, as love can do with a single thread. "

"Penny wise, pound foolish. "
