Men often pass from love to ambition, but they seldom come back again from ambition to love.

It is with true love as it is with ghosts everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire.

We are nearer loving those who hate us than those who love us more than we wish.
