A young bride is like a plucked flower; but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.

Some day you will find out that there is far more happiness in another's happiness than in your own.

Cruelty and fear shake hands together.

If we all said to people's faces what we say behind one another's backs, society would be impossible.

Authentic love always assumes the mystery of modesty, even in its expression, because actions speak louder than words. Unlike a feigned love, it feels no need to set a conflagration.

No woman allows her lover to descend from his pedestal. Even a god is not forgiven the slightest pettiness.

Evasion is unworthy of us, and is always the intimate of equivocation.
