As we grow older, we increase in folly--and in wisdom.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
The qualities we have, make us so ridiculous as those which we affect.
There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.
We never desire strongly, what we desire rationally.
True friendship destroys envy, and true love destroys coquetterie.
