The passions do not die out; they burn out.

We should lay in a store of food, but never of pleasures; these should be gathered day by day.

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

A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.

Shall I tell you what makes love so dangerous? 'Tis the too high idea we are apt to form of it.

The loss of friends is a tax on age!

Old age is women's hell.
