There are but very few men clever enough to know all the mischief they do.

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.

Το know how to profit by good advice, requires nearly as much ability as to know how to act for one'self.

Whatever pretext we may give for our affections, often it is only interest and vanity which cause them.

The most clever and polite are content with only seeming attentive while we perceive in their mind and eyes that at the very time they are wandering from what is said and desire to return to what they want to say.
