“The reason we bitterly hate those who deceive us is because they think they are cleverer than we are.”

“We often act treacherously more from weakness than from a fixed motive.”

“Some people are so extremely whiffling and inconsiderable that they are as far from any real faults as from substantial virtues.”

“Women can less easily surmount their coquetry than their passions.”

“The greatest miracle of love is the cure of coquetry.”

“Women can more easily conquer their passion than their coquetterie.”

“That conduct often seems ridiculous the secret reasons of which are wise and solid.”

“If you follow the suburban fashion in building a sumptuous- looking house for a little money, it will appear to all eyes as a cheap, dear house.”

“The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.”
