Pleasure once tasted satisfies less than the desire experienced for its torments.

Have friends, not for the sake of receiving, but of giving.

To love is to choose.

We often experience more regret over the part we have left, than pleasure over the part we have preferred.

Nothing vivifies, and nothing kills, like the emotions.

Certain names always awake certain prejudices.

Not all of those to whom we do good love us, neither do all those to whom we do evil hate us.
