We are all mortals, and each is for himself.

All the power is with the sex that wears the beard.

Perfect reason avoids all extremes.

To find yourself jilted is a blow to your pride. Do your best to forget it and if you don't succeed, at least pretend to.

All right-minded people adore it; and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe

Cultivated people should be superior to any consideration so sordid as a mercenary interest.

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