It is strange that modesty is the rule for women when what they most value in men is boldness.
The loss of friends is a tax on age!
There are no perfect women in the world; only hypocrites exhibit no defects.
Gossip, like ennui, is born of idleness.
It is not enough to be wise, one must be engaging.
Indiscretion and wickedness, be it known, are first cousins.
