Weakness is the only fault that is incorrigible.

There are people who in spite of their merit disgust us and others who please us in spite of their faults.

The one thing people are the most liberal with, is their advice.

The name and pretense of virtue is as serviceable to self-interest as are real vices.

We give advice, but we cannot give the wisdom to profit by it.

It is more often from pride than from ignorance that we are so obstinately opposed to current opinions; we find the first places taken, and we do not want to be the last.

It is easier to fall in love when you are out of it than to get out of it when you are in.
