There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.

Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.

However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.

It is not in the power of even the most crafty dissimulation to conceal love long, where it really is, nor to counterfeit it long where it is not.

Men often pass from love to ambition, but they seldom come back again from ambition to love.

It is with true love as it is with ghosts everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire.

We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
