Shall I tell you what makes love so dangerous? 'Tis the too high idea we are apt to form of it.
There are no perfect women in the world; only hypocrites exhibit no defects.
Men lose more conquests by their own awkwardness than by any virtue in the woman.
The less heart, the more comfort.
Never tell a loved one of an infidelity: you would be badly rewarded for your troubles. Although one dislikes being deceived, one likes even less to be undeceived.
It requires infinitely a greater genius to make love, than to make war.
