De toutes les passions violentes, celle qui sied le moins mal aux femmes, c'est l'amour. - François de La Rochefoucauld

Dans l’adversité de nos meilleurs amis nous trouvons toujour quelque chose qui ne nous déplaît pas.

Hope is the last thing that dies in man; and though it be exceedingly deceitful, yet it is of this good use to us, that while we are traveling through life it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way to our journey's end.

Luck must be dealt with like health: enjoy it when it is good, be patient when it is bad.
