The slave has but one master, the ambitious man has as many as there are persons whose aid may contribute to the advancement of his fortunes.
The wise person often shuns society for fear of being bored.
Time makes friendship stronger, but love weaker.
All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.
The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.
He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.
