Who can hope to win love that gives none
Who can take pleasure in always seeing a gloomy face?




THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, by Georg Ebers, v3 [GE#80][ge80v10.txt]5519

Love has two faces: tender devotion and bitter aversion
Self-interest and egoism which drive him into the cave
The man who avoids his kind and lives in solitude
You have a habit of only looking backwards




THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, by Georg Ebers, v4 [GE#81][ge81v10.txt]5520

In whom some good quality or other may not be discovered
Life is not a banquet




THE BRIDE OF THE NILE, by Georg Ebers, v5 [GE#82][ge82v10.txt]5521

Gratitude is a tribute on which no wise man ever reckons
Healthy soul is only to be found in a healthy body
Man is the standard of all things
Persians never prayed for any particular blessing
