One loves without reason, and without reason one hates.
On aime sans raison et sans raison l'on hait.

More quotes by Jean-François Regnard
To be able to dispense with good things is tantamount to possessing them.
How happy is a gambler! his pocket is a treasure! under his lucky hands brass becomes gold.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
