More quotes by Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
Praise the beautiful for their intelligence and the intelligent for their beauty.

Giacomo Casanova
There is no honest woman with an uncorrupted heart whom a man is not sure of conquering by dint of gratitude. It is one of the surest and shortest means.
Giacomo Casanova
I leave to others the decision as to the good or evil tendencies of my character, but such as it is it shines upon my countenance, and there it can easily be detected by any physiognomist.
Giacomo Casanova
The man who seeks to educate himself must first read and then travel in order to correct what he has learned.
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
I found that the writer who says SUBLATA LUCERNA NULLUM DISCRIMEN INTER MULIERES ('when the lamp is taken away, all women are alike') says true but without love, this great business is a vile thing.
Giacomo Casanova
The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.
Giacomo Casanova
Those who do not love life do not deserve it.
Giacomo Casanova
When a sonnet is mediocre it is bad, for it should be sublime.
Giacomo Casanova
Beauty without wit offers nothing but the enjoyment of its material charms, whilst witty ugliness captivates by the charms of the mind, and at last fulfils all the desires of the man it has captivated.
Giacomo Casanova
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
Giacomo Casanova
