"No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are throughout persuaded of each other's worth."
"Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die."
"Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things."

"What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?"
