The quarrels of lovers are like summer storms. Everything is more beautiful when they have passed.
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.
Indulgence, twin sister of guilt.
Elegance is exquisite polish.
Gallantry thrives most in the atmosphere of the court.
Remarkable places are like the summits of rocks; eagles and reptiles only can get there.
