Love in young men for the most part is not love but sexual desire, and its accomplishment is the end

After the gratifications of brutish appetites are past, the greatest pleasure then is to get rid of that which entertained it.

Truth indeed rather alleviates than hurts, and will always bear up against falsehood, as oil does above water.

Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as oil does above water.

Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water.

Love not what you are, but what you may become.
