ed of an
attack of coquetry

Not show it off was as if one only
possessed a kennel

Permissible neither to applaud nor to
hiss

Poetry without rhapsody

Present princes and let those be
scandalised who will!

Respectful without servility

Satire without bitterness

Says all that he means, and resolutely
means all that he can say

She awaits your replies without
interruption

Situations in life where we are
condemned to see evil done

Talent without artifice

That Which Often It is Best to Ignore

The King replied that "too much was too
much"

The monarch suddenly enough rejuvenated
his attire

The pulpit is in want of comedians;
they work wonders there

Then comes discouragement; after that,
habit

There is an exaggeration in your sorrow

These liars in surplice, in black
cassock, or in purple

Time, the irresistible healer

Trust not in kings

Violent passion had changed to mere
friendship

Weeping just as if princes had not got
to die like anybody else

Went so far as to shed tears, his most
difficult feat of all

What they need is abstinence,
prohibitions, thwartings

When women rule their reign is always
stormy and troublous

When one has seen him, everything is
excusable

When one has been pretty, one imagines
that one is still so

Wife: property or of furniture, useful
to his house

Wish you had the generosity to show,
now and again, less wit

Women who misconduct themselves are
pitiless and severe

Won for himself a great name and great
wealth by words

Would you like to be a cardinal? I can
manage that

You know, madame, that he generally
gets everything he wants
