Love and friendship exclude each other.
From Jean de la Bruyere
Out of difficulties grow miracles.
There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured, such as poetry, music, painting, public speaking.
One seeks to make the loved one entirely happy, or, if that cannot be, entirely wretched.
We must laugh before we are happy, for fear of dying without having laughed at all.
A pious man is one who would be an atheist if the king were.
There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.
All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.
Logic is the technique by which we add conviction to truth.
The first day one is a guest, the second a burden, and the third a pest.
