All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.

Of all wild beasts on earth or in sea, the greatest is a woman.

Nothing is more useful than silence.

There is no such cozy combination as man and wife.

It is as easy to draw back a stone thrown with force from the hand, as to recall a word once spoken.

We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
