Le Sage
Evil tongues never want a whet.
Facts are stubborn things.
I am quite my own master, agreeably lodged, perfectly easy in my circumstances. I am contented with my situation, and happy because I think myself so.
I wish you all sorts of prosperity, with a little more taste.
Mutual content is like a river, which must have its banks on either side.
Naked glory is the true and honorable recompense of gallant actions.
Pride and conceit were the original sin of man.
The pleasure of talking is the inextinguishable passion of woman, coeval with the act of breathing.
