Lucius Aelius Caesar, to his wife
>"Patere me per alias exercere cupiditates meas: uxor enim dignitatis nomen est, non voluptatis."

>‘It must have been exceedingly trying, meeting Sir Watkyn in such circumstances.’
>‘Yes, and it’s going to be a dashed sight more trying if he catches me pinching his cow creamer. I keep seeing a vision of him doing it.’
>‘I quite understand, sir. And thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pitch and moment in this regard their currents turn awry and lose the name of action.’
>‘Exactly. You take the words out of my mouth.’
Thank you

>The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure.
>No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
>Shame is Pride's cloak.
>The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
>The fox condemns the trap, not himself.

>You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
>If others had not been foolish we should have been so.
>Improvement makes straight roads, but the crooked roads without
Improvement are roads of Genius.
