Pity is love in undress.

We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for.

Whoever prefers the material comforts of life over intellectual wealth is like the owner of a palace who moves into the servants’ quarters and leaves the sumptuous rooms empty.

Who doesn't know anything, has to believe everything.

I regret nothing, says arrogance; I will regret nothing, says inexperience.

Never expect women to be sincere, so long as they are educated to think that their first aim in life is to please.

Nothing is so often and so irrevocably missed as the opportunity which crops up daily.
