Were it not for the existence of passions, no one would build a house, marry a wife, beget children, or do any work.

Keep shut the doors of thy mouth
Even from the wife of thy bosom.

The world is only saved by the breath of the school-children.
“Repeat,” “repeat,” that is the best medicine for memory.
A woman schemes while plying the spindle.
