 O nights and feasts of the gods!

 O spring of Bandusia, brighter than glass.

 Often a purple patch or two is tacked on to a serious work of high promise, to give an effect of colour.

 Often the truth spoken with a smile will penetrate the mind and reach the heart; the lesson strikes home without wounding because of the wit in the saying

 Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

 Once begun: a task is easy: half the work is done

 One gains universal applause who mingles the useful with the agreeable, at once delighting and instructing the reader.

 One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.

 Only a stomach that rarely feels hungry scorns common things.

 Painters and poets, you say, "have always had an equal license in bold invention." We know; we claim the liberty for ourselves and in turn we give it to others.

 Pale death knocks with impartial foot at poor men's hovels and king's palaces.

 Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.

 Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.

 Pale death, with impartial step, knocks at the hut of the poor and the towers of kings.

 Plunge it in the depths; it comes up fairer.
