Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.

A great love is a credit opened in favor of a power so consuming that the moment of bankruptcy must inevitably occur.

All human power is a compound of time and patience.

Let nothing dupe you! Such is the horrible maxim that acts as a solvent upon every noble feeling man experiences.

Any man, however blase or depraved, finds his love kindled anew when he sees himself threatened by a rival.

One can imagine the look the two lovers exchanged; it was like a flame, for virtuous lovers have not a shred of hypocrisy.

Foppery, being the chronic condition of women, is not so much noticed as it is when it breaks out on the person of the male bird.
