The great ambition of women is to inspire love.

One is easily fooled by that which one loves.

When there is enough to eat for eight, there is plenty for ten.

The general public is easy. You don't have to answer to anyone; and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn't worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.

There is something inexpressibly charming in falling in love and, surely, the whole pleasure lies in the fact that love isn't lasting.

New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.

Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.
