Some men are so full of themselves that when they fall in love, they amuse themselves rather with their own passion than with theperson they love.

When our vices leave us, we like to imagine it is we who are leaving them.

No one thinks fortune so blind as those she has been least kind to.

It is easier to fall in love when you are out of it than to get out of it when you are in.

It's easier to know people in general than one person in particular

There are no events so disastrous that adroit men do not draw some advantage from them, nor any so fortunate that the imprudent cannot turn to their own prejudice.

It is easier to deceive yourself, and to do so unperceived, than to deceive another.
