The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind

If you have it (love), you don't need to have anything else. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

Active evil is better than passive good

Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg

The busy bee has no time for sorrow

Let twenty pass, and stone the twenty-first, loving not, hating not, just choosing so
