It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.
From Jean Racine
I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won't; when you won't, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination.
I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me.
Many a time a man cannot be such as he would be, if circumstances do not admit of it.
Nothing is so difficult but that it may be found out by seeking.
According as the man is, so must you humour him.
It is a maxim of old that among themselves all things are common to friends.
How good is God! How sweet his yoke!
On the throne, one has many worries; and remorse is the one that weighs the least.
Without money honor is merely a disease.
