The intellect is always fooled by the heart.

Virtue is to the soul what health is tot he body.

Most men expose themselves in battle enough to save their honor, few wish to do so more than sufficiently, or than is necessary to make the design for which they expose themselves succeed.

The mind cannot long play the heart's role.

He is a truly virtuous man who wishes always to be open to the observation of honest men.

He that fancies such a sufficiency in himself that he can live without all the world is greatly mistaken; but he that imagines himself so necessary that other people cannot live without him is a great deal more mistaken.

There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.
