Give me a man who is man enough to give himself just to the woman who is worth him. If that woman were me,I would love him alone and forever

To lead a blameless life you must curb your passions , and whatever misfortune may befall you cannot be ascribed by anyone to want of good luck, or attributed to fate; these words are devoid of sense, and all fault will rightly fall on your own head.

Cultivating whatever gave pleasure to my senses was always the chief business of my life; I have never found any occupation more important.

I have also been extravagantly fond of good food and irresistibly drawn by anything which could excite curiosity.

My errors will point to thinking men the various roads, and will teach them the great art of treading on the brink of the precipice without falling into it.
