The mind longs for what it has missed.

Nothing is falser than people's preconceptions and ready-made opinions; nothing is sillier than their sham morality.

Wisdom and beauty form a very rare combination.

Outward beauty is not enough; to be attractive a woman must use words, wit, playfulness, sweet-talk, and laughter to transcend the gifts of nature.

The world wants to be deceived...

Beauty and wisdom are rarely conjoined.

What power has law where only money rules.

One good turn deserves another.

Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur.

We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.
