One Must Do Violence To The Object Of One's Desire; When It Surrenders, The Pleasure Is Greater.

Let Not Your Zeal To Share Your Principles Entice You Beyond Your Borders.

Never Lose Sight Of The Fact That All Human Felicity Lies In Man's Imagination, And That He Cannot Think To Attain It Unless He Heeds All His Caprices. The Most Fortunate Of Persons Is He Who Has The Most Means To Satisfy His Vagaries.

The More Defects A Man May Have, The Older He Is, The Less Lovable, The More Resounding His Success.
