What is love? two souls and one flesh; friendship? two bodies and one soul.
In youth one has tears without grief; in age, griefs without tears
We are more conscious that a person is in the wrong when the wrong concerns ourselves.
Success causes us to be more praised than known.
The chief cause of our misery is less the violence of our passions than the feebleness of our virtues.
We distrust our heart too much, and our head not enough.
