There are several remedies which will cure love, but there are no infallible ones.

In all aspects of life, we take on a part and an appearance to seem to be what we wish to be--and thus the world is merely composed of actors.

We arrive at the various stages of life quite as novices.

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

We should desire very few things passionately if we did but perfectly know the nature of the things we desire.

It is not enough to have great qualities; We should also have the management of them.

In the human heart new passions are forever being born; the overthrow of one almost always means the rise of another.
