Men blush less for their crimes than for their weaknesses and vanity.
A man reveals his character even in the simplest things he does.
For a woman to be at once a coquette and a bigot is more than the humblest of husbands can bear; she should mercifully choose between the two.
A vain man finds it wise to speak good or ill of himself; a modest man does not talk of himself.
All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.
No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends as to give them no cause to miss him less.
