There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing.

A man is sometimes better off deceived about the one he loves, than undeceived.

The grace of novelty and the length of habit, though so very opposite to one another, yet agree in this, that they both alike keepus from discovering the faults of our friends.

We often boast that we are never bored; but yet we are so conceited that we do not perceive how often we bore others.

We often credit ourselves with vices the reverse of what we have, thus when weak we boast of our obstinacy.

Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person.

We are never either so fortunate or so misfortunate as we imagine.
