There are few virtuous women who are not bored with their trade.
From Francois de La Rochefoucauld
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
If we judge love by most of its effects, it resembles rather hatred than affection.
Fortune converts everything to the advantage of her favorites.
No men are oftener wrong than those that can least bear to be so.
We easily forgive our friends those faults that do no affect us ourselves.
Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can; and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being.
He is not to pass for a man of reason who stumbles upon reason by chance but he who knows it and can judge it and has a true taste for it.
Whatever good things people say of us, they tell us nothing new.
When our vices leave us, we like to imagine it is we who are leaving them.
