We are never so generous as when giving advice.

Truth does not do as much good in the world as its imitations do harm.

We torment ourselves rather to make it appear that we are happy than to become so.

Gratitude is a useless word. You will find it in a dictionary but not in life.

Plenty of people want to be pious, but no one yearns to be humble.

There are bad people who would be less dangerous if they were quite devoid of goodness.

When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity.
