War is the trade of Kings.
Dancing is the poetry of the foot.
Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.

For truth has such a face and such a mien, as to be loved needs only to be seen.
Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.
Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.
But love's a malady without a cure.
Successful crimes alone are justified.

Love is love's reward.
Beware the fury of a patient man.
