Adversity is solitary, while prosperity dwells in a crowd

Servitude is inherent; we are all slaves to duty or to force.

There are women so hard to please that it would seem as if nothing less than an angel would suit them; and hence it comes that they often encounter devils.

There is no greater fool than the man who thinks himself wise; no one is wiser than he who suspects he is a fool.

A woman of honor should never suspect another of things she would not do herself.

Joy takes away from us the thoughts of our actions; sorrow it is that awakens the soul.

Excitement is the drunkenness of the spirits. Only calm waters reflect heaven in their bosom.
