Life is the art of being well deceived and in order that the deception may succeed it must be habitual and uninterrupted.

The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.

Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.

Grace in women has more effect than beauty.

Hope is the best possession. None are completely wretched but those who are without hope. Few are reduced so low as that.
