By Dante Alighieri:

~In his arms, my lady lay asleep, wrapped in a veil. He woke her then and trembling and obedient she ate that burning heart out of his hand. Weeping I saw him then depart from me.

~Behold a God more powerful than I who comes to rule over me.

~When I had journeyed half of our life's way,
      I found myself within a shadowed forest,
         for I had lost the path that does not stray.

By Aristotle:

~He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

~Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

~Man is by nature a political animal.

~Hope is a waking dream.

~Liars when they speak the truth are not believed.

By Buddha:

~Sensual passions are your first enemy.
      Your second is called Discontent.
         Your third is Hunger & Thirst.
             Your fourth is called Craving.
                 Fifth is Sloth & Drowsiness.
                    Sixth is called Terror.
                       Your seventh is Uncertainty.
                          Hypocrisy & Stubbornness, your eighth.
                             Gains, Offerings, Fame, & Status wrongly gained,
                                and whoever would praise self
                                   & disparage others.
                                      That, Namuci, is your enemy,
                                         the Dark One's commando force.
                                            A coward can't defeat it,
                                               but one having defeated it
                                                  gains bliss.

By Albert Einstein:

~A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.

By William Shakespeare:

~Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

~But love that comes too late,
    Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried,
      To the great sender turns a sour offence.

~But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
    The pretty follies that themselves commit.
