Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love:
Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues;
Let every eye negotiate for itself
And trust no agent.
That the gods superintend all the affairs of men, and that there are such beings as daemons.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
He said they that were serious in ridiculous matters would be ridiculous in serious affairs.
