To be wise and love exceeds man's might.
Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; When little fears grow great, great love grows there.
A young man married is a man that's marred.

Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting.
These violent delights have violent ends.
To unpathed waters, undreamed shores.
They do not love that do not show their love.
