No man can purchase his virtue too dear, for it is the only thing whose value must ever increase with the price it has cost us. Our integrity is never worth so much as when we have parted with our all to keep it.
Love is a kind of warfare.
The cause is hidden; the effect is visible to all.
Use the occasion, for it passes swiftly.
All love is vanquished by a succeeding love.
What is it that love does to a woman? Without she only sleeps; with it alone, she lives.
