Marriage Is The Tomb Of Love.

If You Want To Make People Laugh, Your Face Must Remain Serious.

I Have Always Loved Truth So Passionately That I Have Often Resorted To Lying As A Way Of Introducing It Into The Minds Which Were Ignorant Of Its Charms.

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.

By Recollecting The Pleasures I Have Had Formerly, I Renew Them, I Enjoy Them A Second Time, While I Laugh At The Remembrance Of Troubles Now Past, And Which I No Longer Feel.

There Is No Honest Woman With An Uncorrupted Heart Whom A Man Is Not Sure Of Conquering By Dint Of Gratitude. It Is One Of The Surest And Shortest Means.
