La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid

I willingly allow that money does not guarantee happiness; but it must also be allowed that it makes happiness a great deal easier to achieve.

Don't you remember that love, like medicine, is only the art of encouraging nature?

You may conquer her love of God: you will never overcome her fear of the devil.

It was there, in particular, that I confirmed the truth that love, which we cry up as the source of our pleasures, is nothing more than an excuse for them.

When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal.

Truth to tell, the longer I live, the more I'm tempted to think that the only moderately worthwhile people in the world are you and I.
