A Lively Retrospect Summons Back To Us

[i]f You Are Truly A Man, Sure Of Yourself And Confident Of Your Strength, You May Taste Of Life Without Fear And Without Reserve; You May Be Sad Or Joyous, Deceived Or Respected; But Be Sure You Are Loved, For What Matters The Rest?

Is Is True That Dictators Never Dream Because They Can Change Their Smallest Fantasies Into Realities If They Want To?

Take Love As A Sober Man Takes Wine; Do Not Become A Drunkard. If Your Mistress Is Sincere And Faithful, Love Her For That; But If She Is Not, If She Is Merely Young And Beautiful, Love Her For That; If She Is Agreeable And Spirituelle, Love Her For That; If She Is None Of These Things But Merely Loves You, Love Her For That. Love Does Not Come To Us Every Day.
