There Are Women Who Never Had An Intrigue; But There Are Scarce Any Who Never Had But One.

We Would Rather See Those To Whom We Do Good, Than Those Who Do Good To Us.

Our Aversion To Lying Is Commonly A Secret Ambition To Make What We Say Considerable, And Have Every Word Received With A Religious Respect.
