I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores

It is a public scandal that offends to sin in secret is no sin at all

One should examine oneself for a very long time before thinking of condemning others

Love is often the fruit of marriage

There is something inexpressibly charming in falling in love and, surely, the whole pleasure lies in the fact that love isn't lasting

There is no praise to bear the sort that you put in your pocket

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcome

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation

I live on good soup, not on fine words
