Strana 142 - Dum nova canities, dum prima et recta senectus, Dum superest Lachesi, quod torqueat, et pedibus me Porto meis, nullo dextram subeunte bacillo.
Strana 185 - ... love in biting and scratching. It is not vigorous and generous enough if it be not quarrelsome ; if civilized and artificial, if it treads nicely, and fears the shock.
Strana 24 - I speak truth, not so much as I would, but as much as I dare: and I dare a little the more, as I grow older; for methinks custom allows to age more liberty of prating, and more indiscretion of talking of a man's self.
Strana 311 - Etenim ipsae se impellunt, ubi semel a ratione discessum est, ipsaque sibi imbecillitas indulget in altumque provehitur imprudens nee reperit locum consistendi.

Strana 316 - Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas, Atque metus omnes, et inexorabile fatum Subjecit pedibus, strepitumque Acherontis avari.
Strana 253 - I have learned, I require in married women the economical virtue above all other virtues ; I put my wife to't, as a concern of her own, leaving her, by my absence, the whole government of my affairs. I see, and am vexed to see, in several families I know, Monsieur about dinner time come home all jaded and ruffled about his affairs, when Madame is still pouncing and tricking up herself, forsooth, in her closet : this is for queens to do, and that's a question, too : 'tis ridiculous and unjust that...
Strana 162 - ... tis short both in extent of time and extent of matter: Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona Multi, sed omnes illacrymabiles Urgentur, ignotique longa Nocte.
