The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry.

If vanity does not entirely overthrow the virtues, at least it makes them all totter.

All who know their own minds know not their own hearts.

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

We are very far from always knowing our own wishes.

We often persuade ourselves to love people who are more powerful than we are, yet interest alone produces our friendship; we do not give our hearts away for the good we wish to do, but for that we expect to receive.

True eloquence consists in saying all that should be said, and that only.
