Admiration
The secret of happiness is to admire without desiring.
Girls
We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.
Repentance
True penitence condemns to silence. What a man is ready to recall he would be willing to repeat.
Wives
Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived. It is a pity that this is still the only knowledge of their wives at which some men seem to arrive.
