"A man is sorry to be honest for nothing."
"A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward."
"A safe pleasure is a tame pleasure."
"A short absence is the safest."
"Little things please little minds."
"Love and dignity cannot share the same abode."
"Love is a naked child: do you think he has pockets for money?"
"The lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean."
"Venus favors the bold."
"We two are to ourselves a crowd."
"What is now reason was formerly impulse or instinct."
"When a rose dies, a thorn is left behind."
"Whether they give or refuse, it delights women
just the same to have been asked."
"You can learn from anyone even your enemy."
