He who will not be counseled cannot be helped.
He that takes a wife, takes care
Love well, whip well.
Love and toothache have many cures, but none infallible, except possession and dispossession.
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.

If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.
