Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

The love of truth has its reward in heaven and even on earth

A great value of antiquity lies in the fact that its writings are the only ones that modern men still read with exactness

Success has always been a great liar

Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out

Winter, a bad guest, sitteth with me at home blue are my hands with his friendly handshaking

The people who marry make a good marriage not marriage in itself

There would be more good marriages if the marriage partners didn't live together
