The Essence Of Life Consists In Thinking,

Only Choose In Marriage A Man Whom You Would Choose As A Friend If He Were A Woman.

Of The Two, I Prefer Those Who Render Vice Lovable To Those Who Degrade Virtue.

Maxims Are To The Intellect What Laws Are To Actions; They Do Not Enlighten, But They Guide And Direct, And, Although Themselves Blind, Are Protective.

The Beautiful Invariably Possesses A Visible And A Hidden Beauty; And It Is Certain That No Style Is So Beautiful As That Which Presents To The Attentive Reader A Half-hidden Meaning.
