The more hidden the venom, the more dangerous it is.

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.

It is the same in love as in war a fortress that parleys is half taken.

The woman who does not choose to love should cut the matter short at once by holding out no hopes to her suitor.

A woman of honor should not suspect another of things she would not do herself.
