“There is only one happiness in life: to love and to be loved”

“Love's like the measles - all the worse when it comes late in life.”

“The surest way to hit a woman's heart is to take aim kneeling.”

“There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage”

“Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go”

“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child”
