Everyone complains of his memory, and nobody complains of his judgment.

Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.

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

Good taste comes more from the judgment than from the mind.

Some counterfeits reproduce so very well the truth that it would be a flaw of judgment not to be deceived by them.

High fortune makes both our virtues and vices stand out as objects that are brought clearly to view by the light.

The heart is forever making the head its fool.
