Some suggestions for you :
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
If some things don't make you lose your sense of reason, then you have none to lose.
Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy.
The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.
He who doesn't lose his wits over certain things has no wits to lose.
For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity.
They make glorious shipwreck who are lost in seeking worlds.
Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever.
