Love is not consolation. It is light.

This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.

Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.

Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.

Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.

When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.

Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.

Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
