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

There are very few things impossible in themselves; and we do not want means to conquer difficulties so much as application and resolution in the use of means.

People would never fall in love if they hadn't heard love talked about.

It is the habit of mediocre minds to condemn all that is beyond their grasp.

The reason we do not let our friends see the very bottom of our hearts is not so much distrust of them as distrust of ourselves.

Envy is more incapable of reconciliation than hatred is.

There is an excess both in happiness and misery above our power of sensation.
