Renewed friendships require more care than those that have never been broken.

We may sooner be brought to love them that hate us, than them that love us more than we would have them do.

It is not enough that we should succeed, but our friends must fail as well.

We would rather speak ill of ourselves than not talk about ourselves at all.

Hypocrisy is an homage that vice renders to virtue.

There are few good women who do not tire of their role.

High fortune makes both our virtues and vices stand out as objects that are brought clearly to view by the light.
