It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other

Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails

Friends show their love in times of trouble

Life has no blessing like a prudent friend

Cleverness is not wisdom

Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor

Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love

He is not a lover who does not love forever

There is just one life for each of us: our own

The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.
