To live: a quite complicated way of dying.

To love is human, but to marry is diabolical.

Money does not bring happiness, it buys it.

To be loved by whom you love is a great luck; to be loved by whom you don't love is an annoyance; not to be loved by whom you love is a misfortune; not to love and not to be loved, a risky situation.

People prefer bad company to solitude and anything to one's own company.
