The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry.

Το know how to profit by good advice, requires nearly as much ability as to know how to act for one'self.

Nothing is so contagious as example.

Man only blames himself in order that he may be praised.

Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation. [However disappointment can always be removed if we remember it could have turned out worse.]

We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.

When a man must force himself to be faithful in his love, this is hardly better than unfaithfulness.
