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

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

We shall all be perfectly virtuous when there is no longer any flesh on our bones.

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

There are few husbands whom the wife cannot win in the long run, by patience and love.

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

I should rejoice if my pleasures were as pleasing to God as they are to myself.
