Man is no match for woman where mischief reigns.

One admirable trait in women is their lack of illusions about themselves. They never reason about their most blameworthy actions; their feelings carry them away. Even their dissimulation comes naturally to them, and in them crime is free of all baseness. Most of the time they simply do not know how it happened.

Jealousy, an eminently credulous and suspicious passion, allows fancy the greatest possible play. But it does not bestow wit, it banishes all sense.

The more you judge, the less you love.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Woman is a most charming creature, who changes her heart as easily as she does her gloves.

It is always assumed by the empty-headed, who chatter about themselves for want of something better, that people who do not discuss their affairs openly must have something to hide.
