Great minds always tend to see virtue in misfortune.

Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking; love has found.

You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.

Man can start with aversion and end with love, but if he begins with love and comes round to aversion he will never get back to love.

The secret of great fortunes without apparent cause is a crime forgotten, forgotten because it was properly done.

True love rules especially through memory.

The most virtuous women have within them something that is never chaste.
