One may be better than his reputation or his conduct, but never better than his principles.

J. De Finod (1881)

To remain virtuous, a man has only to combat his own desires: a woman must resist her own inclinations, and the continual attack of man.

J. De Finod (1881)

Women like balls and assemblies, as a hunter likes a place where game abounds.

J. De Finod (1881)

A jest that makes a virtuous woman only smile, often frightens away a prude; but, when real danger forces the former to flee, the latter does not hesitate to advance.

J. De Finod (1881)
