Passion Makes Idiots Of The Cleverest Men,

The Desire Which Urges Us To Deserve Praise Strengthens Our Good Qualities, And Praise Given To Wit, Valour, And Beauty, Tends To Increase Them.

A Woman Often Thinks She Regrets The Lover, When She Only Regrets The Love.

If We Resist Our Passions, It Is More Due To Their Weakness Than Our Strength.

Man Only Blames Himself In Order That He May Be Praised.

Nothing Hinders A Thing From Being Natural So Much As The Straining Ourselves To Make It Seem So.
