He who gives freely gives twice.
That which is lightly gained is little valued.
For love sometimes flies and sometimes walks—runs with one person, and goes leisurely with another: some he warms, and some he burns; some he wounds, and others he kills: in one and the same instant he forms and accomplishes his projects. He often in the morning lays siege to a fortress which in the evening surrenders to him—for no force is able to resist him.
Heaven always favors the honest purpose.
Rank is not essential in a wife.
