All Paradise opens! Let me die eating ortolans to the sound of soft music!

No enemy is indeed so terrible as a man of genius.

Expediency is a law of nature. The camel is a wonderful animal, but the desert made the camel.

Whenever you see a man who is successful in society, try to discover what makes him pleasing, and if possible adopt his system.

Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.

Life is too short to be little.
