Some people are like popular songs that you only sing for a short time.
Some follies are caught, like contagious diseases.
Fortune and humor govern the world.
The heart is forever making the head its fool.
If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship.
There are no events so disastrous that adroit men do not draw some advantage from them, nor any so fortunate that the imprudent cannot turn to their own prejudice.
