What men value in this world is not rights but privileges

The value the world sets upon motives is often grossly unjust and inaccurate

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots

On one issue, at least, men and women agree: they both distrust women

Men are the only animals who devote themselves assiduously to making one another unhappy.
