There never was a scandalous tale without some foundation.

Be just before you are generous.

Men seldom think deeply on subjects in which they have no choice of opinion: they are fearful of encountering obstacles to their faith--as in religion--and so are content with the surface.

In all cases of slander currency, whenever the forger of the lie is not to be found, the injured parties should have a right to come on any of the indorsers.

The heart that is conscious of its own integrity is ever slow to credit another´s treachery.

It is by women that nature writes on the hearts of men.

Our memories are independent of our wills.
