Nothing is more certain of destroying any good feeling that may be cherished towards us than to show distrust. To be suspected as an enemy is often enough to make a man become so; the whole matter is over, there is no farther use of guarding against it. On the contrary, confidence leads us naturally to act kindly, we are affected by the good opinion which others entertain of us, and we are not easily induced to lose it.

The heart has no wrinkles.

Oh Dear! How unfortunate I am not to have anyone to weep with!

Fortune is always on the side of the largest battalions.

I love you so passionately, that I hide a great part of my love, so as not to oppress you with it.

There is no one who does not represent a danger to someone.

We like so much to talk of ourselves that we are never weary of those private interviews with a lover during the course of whole years, and for the same reason the devout like to spend much time with their confessor; it is the pleasure of talking of themselves, even though it be to talk ill.
