The old age of women is bearable only on condition that they do not take up any room, do not make any noise, do not demand any service; on condition that they render all the service that is expected of them, and actually have no existence except for the good of others.
The most subtle flattery that a woman can receive is by actions, not by words.
It were no virtue to bear calamities if we did not feel them.
Love is the pass-key to the heart.
Indulgence, twin sister of guilt.
Too many wish to be happy before becoming wise.
