More quotes by Giacomo Casanova
Those who do not love life do not deserve it.
Giacomo Casanova
We love without heeding reason, and cease to love in the same manner.
Giacomo Casanova
Since, though I do not repent my amorous exploits, I am far from wanting my example to contribute to the corruption of the fair sex, which deserves our homage for so many reasons, I hope that my observations will foster prudence in fathers and mothers and thus at least deserve their esteem.
Giacomo Casanova
The reader of these Memoirs will discover that I never had any fixed aim before my eyes, and that my system, if it can be called a system, has been to glide away unconcernedly on the stream of life, trusting to the wind wherever it led.
Giacomo Casanova
Hope is nothing but a deceitful flatterer accepted by reason only because it is often in need of palliatives.
Giacomo Casanova
Man is free yet we must not suppose that he is at liberty to do everything he pleases, for he becomes a slave the moment he allows his actions to be ruled by passion.
Giacomo Casanova
In the mean time I worship God, laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect, and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.
Giacomo Casanova
A man who makes known his love by words is a fool.
Giacomo Casanova
As for myself, I always willingly acknowledge my own self as the principal cause of every good and of every evil which may befall me therefore, I have always found myself capable of being my own pupil, and ready to love my teacher.
Giacomo Casanova
Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses.
Giacomo Casanova
Be the flame, not the moth.
Giacomo Casanova
Love is a great poet, its resources are inexhaustible, but if the end it has in view is not obtained, it feels weary and remains silent.
Giacomo Casanova
We avenge intelligence when we deceive a fool, and the victory is worth the trouble
Giacomo Casanova
The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.
Giacomo Casanova
I don't conquer, I submit.
Giacomo Casanova
I saw that everything famous and beautiful in the world, if we judge by the descriptions and drawings of writers and artists, always loses when we go to see it and examine it closely.
Giacomo Casanova
The philosopher is a person who refuses no pleasures which do not produce greater sorrows, and who knows how to create new ones.
Giacomo Casanova
If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read.
Giacomo Casanova
Praise the beautiful for their intelligence and the intelligent for their beauty.
Giacomo Casanova
one who makes no mistakes makes nothing
