Do you know a young and beautiful woman who is not ready to flirt-just a little?.
Our virtues live upon our incomes; our vices consume our capital..
The wonderful fortune of some writers deludes and leads to misery a great number of young people..
In giving alms, let us rather look at the needs of the poor than his claim to your charity..
What we gain by experience is not worth that we lose in illusion.
Nothing for preserving the body like having no heart..
The weak-minded man is the slave of his vices and the dupe of his virtues..
The true worth of a soul is revealed as much by the motive it attributes to the actions of others as by its own deeds..
People who declare that they belong to no party certainly do not belong to ours..
How many wells of science there are in whose depths there is nothing but clear water!.
There is certainly no beauty on earth which exceeds the natural loveliness of woman..
Conscience whispers, but interest screams aloud..
Do not crowd the understanding; it can comprehend so much and no more. A pint pot will not contain the measure of a quart..
