All Who Know Their Own Minds Know

Whatever Pretext We May Give For Our Affections, Often It Is Only Interest And Vanity Which Cause Them.

We Do Not Wish Ardently For What We Desire Only Through Reason.

The Reason Why Lovers Are Never Bored Together Is That They Are Always Talking Of Themselves.

The Secret Of Pleasing In Conversation Is Not To Explain Too Much Everything; To Say Them Half And Leave A Little For Divination Is A Mark Of The Good Opinion We Have Of Others, And Nothing Flatters Their Self-love More.

However Much We May Distrust Men's Sincerity, We Always Believe They Speak To Us More Sincerely Than To Others.
