There are no perfect women in the world; only hypocrites exhibit no defects.

A woman should not take a lover without the consent of her heart, nor a husband without the consent of her reason.

The resistance of a woman is not always a proof of her virtue, but more frequently of her experience.

Love never dies of starvation, but often of indigestion.

Wit is a dangerous talent in friendship.

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.

Old age is women's hell.
