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

Great men should not have great faults.

The intention of never deceiving often exposes us to deception.

When our hatred is violent, it sinks us even beneath those we hate.

Some disguised deceits counterfeit truth so perfectly that not to be taken in by them would be an error of judgment.

The desire of talking of ourselves, and showing those faults we do not mind having seen, makes up a good part of our sincerity.

Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue.
