Heaven often regulates effects by their causes, and pays the wicked what they have deserved.
One ought to have a good memory when he has told a lie
He who allows himself to be insulted deserves to be.
He who despises life is his life's master.
When a woman has the gift of silence she possesses a quality above the vulgar. It is a gift of Heaven seldom bestowed; without a little miracle it cannot be accomplished; and Nature suffers violence when Heaven puts a woman in the humor of observing silence.
Deceit is the game of petty spirits, and that is by nature a woman's quality.
