Each day my reason tells me so; But reason doesn't rule in love, you know.

No one is safe from slander. The best way is to pay no attention to it, but live in innocence and let the world talk.

As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.

There are pretenders to piety as well as to courage.

Reason is not what decides love.

He who follows his lessons tastes a profound peace, and looks upon everybody as a bunch of manure.

To create a public scandal is what's wicked; to sin in private is not a sin.
