At least it's better to be married than to be dead.

Human weakness is to desire to know what one does not want to know.

Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.

We die only once, and for such a long time.

One should eat to live, not live to eat.

The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.

Things are only worth what you make them worth.
