“In misery it is great comfort to have a companion.”

“It is far more seemly to have thy Studie full of Bookes, than thy Purse full of money. ”

“All is fair in love and war”

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”

“For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God”

“I have had a thousand kisses, for which with my whole soul I thank love—but if you should deny me the thousand and first—‘t would put me to the proof how great a misery I could live through.”

“No one can usurp the heights...But those to whom the miseries of the worldAre misery, and will not let them rest.”
