Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.

Happiness is composed of misfortunes avoided.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.

If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.
