We Are Much Mistaken If

A Man Does Not Please Long When He Has Only Species Of Wit.

If We Resist Our Passions, It Is More Due To Their Weakness Than Our Strength.

There Are Very Few People Who Are Not Ashamed Of Having Been In Love When They No Longer Love Each Other.

It Is A Mistake To Imagine, That The Violent Passions Only, Such As Ambition And Love, Can Triumph Over The Rest. Idleness, Languid As It Is, Often Masters Them All; She Influences All Our Designs And Actions, And Insensibly Consumes And Destroys Both Passions And Virtues.

The Sicknesses Of The Soul Have Their Ups And Downs Like Those Of The Body; What We Take To Be A Cure Is Most Often Merely A Respite Or Change Of Disease.
