Power Is Pleasure; And Pleasure Sweetens Pain.

It Is Better To Desire Than To Enjoy, To Love Than To Be Loved.

By Despising All That Has Preceded Us, We Teach Others To Despise Ourselves.

Love Turns, With A Little Indulgence, To Indifference Or Disgust; Hatred Alone Is Immortal.

The Amiable Is The Voluptuous In Expression Or Manner. The Sense Of Pleasure In Ourselves Is That Which Excites It In Others; Or, The Art Of Pleasing Is To Seem Pleased.

An Honest Man Speaks The Truth, Though It May Give Offence; A Vain Man, In Order That It May.
