“Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live”

“Ambition is the immoderate desire for power”

“In every living thing there is the desire for love ”

“Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be”

“It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little”

“Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance ”
