We are always on the side of those who speak last.

We like so much to hear people talk of us and of our motives, that we are charmed even when they abuse us.

It is not always sorrow that opens the fountains of the eyes.

When I step into this library, I cannot understand why I ever step out of it.

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

Reason bears disgrace, courage combats it, patience surmounts it.

If we could have a little patience, we should escape much mortification; time takes away as much as it gives.
