If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more near... - Francois de La Rochefoucauld

"When we are in love we often doubt that which we most believe."

"However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship."

"Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route."

"There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not."

"In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge."
