"Saki! with the light of wine, up-kindle the cup of ours. Minstrel! speak, saying: The worlds work hath gone to the desire of ours."

"The wine is the blood of the grape, and the beloved is the soul of the world."

"The wise man knows that silence is golden, and speech is silver."

"The world is a dream, and we are but dreamers."

"The wise man knows that pleasure and pain are two sides of the same coin."
