How many deserters there are from the rigours of virtue, how few from the cause of love!
Combien trouve-t-on de déserteurs de la sévère vertu et combien en trouvez-vous peu de l'amour?

More quotes by Antoine François Prévost
Nothing inspires more courage in a woman than fearlessness in the man she loves.
The foolishness of the great and the wealthy is an excellent source of revenue for the humble.
Do you really think one can be truly loving when one is short of bread?

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.
