No one perfectly loves God who does not perfectly love some of his creatures.

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

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.

Tears may be dried up, but the heart – never.

A woman of honor should never suspect another of things she would not do herself.

No one perfectly loves God who does not perfectly love some of his creatures.
