History teaches everything, even the future.
Silence and simplicity obtrude on no one, but are yet two unequaled attractions in woman.
An artist should have more than two eyes.
Civil wars leave nothing but tombs.
Life is too short to spare an hour of it in the indulgence of this evil passion.
It is the qualities of the heart, not those of the face, that should attract us in women, because the former are durable, the latter transitory. So lovable women, like roses, retain their sweetness long after they have lost their beauty.
