Madeleine de Scudery quotes:

A jealous man always finds more than he is looking for.

Men should keep their eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.

Love is a capricious creature which desires everything and can be contented with almost nothing.

It is more important to have self-respect than to gain respect from others.

Love makes life's sweetest pleasures and worst misfortunes.

Love makes mutes of those who habitually speak most fluently.

Love makes the greatest pleasures and most sensitive misfortunes of life.

The only rose without thorns is friendship.

The virtue which has never been attacked by temptation is deserving of no monument.
