True love is better than glory.

Never marry with the expectation of changing a person.

The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.

To be beautiful is enough! if a woman can do that well who should demand more from her? You don't want a rose to sing.

Perhaps all early love affairs ought to be strangled or drowned, like so many blind kittens.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

Let us be very gentle with our neighbors' failings, and forgive our friends their debts as we hope ourselves to be forgiven.
