I like men who have a future and women who have a past.
The world is a stage and the play is badly cast.
After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.
No good deed goes unpunished.
A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.
I have nothing to declare except my genius.
We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

Who, being loved, is poor?
Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
