Women can less easily surmount their coquetry than their passions.

A good woman is a hidden treasure; who discovers her will do well not to boast about it.

There are women who never had an intrigue; but there are scarce any who never had but one.

It is pointless for a woman to be young unless pretty, or to be pretty unless young.
