There is no sinner like a young saint.
Oh what a dear ravishing thing is the beginning of an Amour.
Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.
He that knew all that learning ever writ, Knew only this - that he knew nothing yet.
Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.
That perfect tranquillity of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.
Faith, sir, we are here today, and gone tomorrow.
Nothing is more capable of troubling our reason, and consuming our health, than secret notions of jealousy in solitude.
Variety is the soul of pleasure.
One hour of right-down love is worth an age of dully living on.
Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
