The mind cannot long play the heart's role.

Men more easily renounce their interests than their tastes.

The measure of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it.

Idiots and lunatics see only their own wit.

There are people who would never have been in love, had they never heard love spoken of.

In their early passions women are in love with the lover, later they are in love with love.

The gratitude of most men is but a secret desire of receiving greater benefits.
