Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.

The height of cleverness is to be able to conceal it.

There are crimes which become innocent and even glorious through their splendor, number and excess.

All our qualities, whether good or bad, are unstable and ambiguous, and almost all are at the mery of chance.

Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.

We always like those who admire us.

Solemnity is a device of the body to hide the faults of the mind.
