From the library
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
