Giacomo Casanova
In fact, to gull a fool seems to me an exploit worthy of a witty man.
Giacomo Casanova
I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent.
Giacomo Casanova
For my future I have no concern, and as a true philosopher, I never would have any, for I know not what it may be: as a Christian, on the other hand, faith must believe without discussion, and the stronger it is, the more it keeps silent.
Giacomo Casanova
We love without heeding reason, and cease to love in the same manner.
Giacomo Casanova
one who makes no mistakes makes nothing
Giacomo Casanova
I know that I have lived because I have felt, and, feeling giving me the knowledge of my existence.
Giacomo Casanova
Praise the beautiful for their intelligence and the intelligent for their beauty.
Giacomo Casanova
