I quickly laugh at everything for fear of having to cry.
Plays, gentlemen, are to their authors what children are to women: they cost more pain than they give pleasure.
Without pleasure man would live like a fool and soon die.
Honest men love women; those who deceive them adore them.
Today if something is not worth saying, people sing it.
To obtain a woman who loves you, you must treat her as if she didn't.
