“In jealousy there is more of self-love than love”

“Absense diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.”

“Tres clases hay de ignorancia: no saber lo que debiera saberse, saber mal lo que se sabe y saber lo que no debiera saberse.”

“If we resist our passions, it is more due to their weakness than our strength.”

“We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.”

“Almost all our faults are more pardonable than the methods we resort to to hide them.”
