The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune.

I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.

Most people know no other way of judging men's worth but by the vogue they are in, or the fortunes they have met with.

A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.

Violence and arms can never resolve the problems of men.
