The Pleasure Of Love Is In Loving;

There Are No Circumstances, However Unfortunate, That Clever People Do Not Extract Some Advantage From.

The Great Interests Of Man: Air And Light, The Joy Of Having A Body, The Voluptuousness Of Looking.

The Art Of Putting Into Play Mediocre Qualities Often Begets More Reputation Than Is Achieved By True Merit.

A Man Convinced Of His Own Merit Will Accept Misfortune As An Honor, For Thus Can He Persuade Others, As Well As Himself, That He Is A Worthy Target For The Arrows Of Fate.

It Is Not Enough That We Should Succeed, But Our Friends Must Fail As Well.
