Beautiful Coquettes Are Quacks Of Love.

There Are Few Occasions When We Should Make A Bad Bargain By Giving Up The Good On Condition That No Ill Was Said Of Us.

We Acknowledge Our Faults In Order To Repair By Our Sincerity The Damage They Have Done Us In The Eyes Of Others.

The Most Brilliant Fortunes Are Often Not Worth The Littleness Required To Gain Them.

We Easily Forgive Our Friends Those Faults That Do No Affect Us Ourselves.

Friendship Is Only A Reciprocal Conciliation Of Interests, And An Exchange Of Good Offices; It Is A Species Of Commerce Out Of Which Self-love Always Expects To Gain Something.
