"Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out" — Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be

Ambition is the immoderate desire for power

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants

In every living thing there is the desire for love

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little
