Show me another pleasure like dinner which comes every day and lasts an hour.

It is not an event; it is a piece of news.

I know where there is more wisdom than is found in Napoleon, Voltaire, or all the ministers present and to come - in public opinion.

Those who did not live during the years close to 1789 do not know the pleasure of living.

Only a man who has loved a woman of genius can appreciate what happiness there is in loving a fool.

Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.

What I have been taught, I have forgotten; what I know, I have guessed.
