The wicked have only accomplices, the voluptuous have only companions in debauchery; self-seekers have only associates; politicians have only their factions; the generality of idle men has only connections; princes have only courtiers; virtuous men alone possess friends.
Pleasure has its time; so, too, has wisdom. Make love in thy youth, and in old age, attend to thy salvation. Attributed A Thousand Flashes of French Wit, Wisdom, and Wickedness (1902)
