It Is Only Necessary To Have Courage,

If I Had Married A Woman Intelligent Enough To Guide Me, To Rule Me Without My Feeling That I Was Ruled, I Should Have Taken Good Care Of My Money, I Should Have Had Children, And I Should Not Be, As Now I Am, Alone In The World And Possessing Nothing.

The Thing Is To Dazzle

We Ourselve Are The Authors Of Almost All Our Woes And Griefs, Of Which We So Unreasonably Complain.

Thence, I Suppose, My Natural Disposition To Make Fresh Acquaintances, And To Break With Them So Readily, Although Always For A Good Reason, And Never Through Mere Fickleness.

Cultivating Whatever Gave Pleasure To My Senses Was Always The Chief Business Of My Life; I Have Never Found Any Occupation More Important. Feeling That I Was Born For The Sex Opposite Mine, I Have Always Loved It And Done All That I Could To Make Myself Loved By It. I Have Also Been Extravagantly Fond Of Good Food And Irresistibly Drawn By Anything Which Could Excite Curiosity.
