There Is Great Skill In Knowing How

Constancy In Love Is A Perpetual Inconstancy Which Fixes Our Hearts Successively To All The Qualities Of The Person Loved--sometimes Admiring One And Sometimes Another Above All The Rest--so That This Constancy Roves As Far As It Can, And Is No Better Than Inconstancy, Confined Within The Compass Of One Person.

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.

Innocence Is Lucky If It Finds The Same Protection As Guilt

Nothing Is Given So Profusely As Advice.

The Constancy Of The Wise Is Only The Talent Of Concealing The Agitation Of Their Hearts.
