What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement... - Francois de La Rochefoucauld

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

"True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen."

"We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears."

"It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves."

"If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship."
