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.

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.

It is the same in love as in war; a fortress that parleys is half taken.

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

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

The more hidden the venom, the more dangerous it is.
