Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.

Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.

All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.

Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.
