If You Want To Be Loved Love

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.

To live happily is an inward power of the soul.

If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous, he deserves to be called perfect.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
