The virtuous woman flees from danger; she trusts more to her prudence in shunning it than in her strength to overcome it.
No woman dares express all she thinks.
The politics of courtiers resemble their shadows; they cringe and turn with the sun of the day.
The wisest man may always learn something from the humblest peasant.
Where talent is a dwarf, self-esteem is a giant.
Pleasure and satiety live next door to each other.
