More quotes by 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
To lead a blameless life you must curb your passions , and whatever misfortune may befall you cannot be ascribed by anyone to want of good luck, or attributed to fate these words are devoid of sense, and all fault will rightly fall on your own head.
Giacomo Casanova
I have lived as a philosopher and die as a Christian.
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
When a sonnet is mediocre it is bad, for it should be sublime.
Giacomo Casanova
We avenge intelligence when we deceive a fool, and the victory is worth the trouble
Giacomo Casanova
I loved, I was loved, my health was good, I had a great deal of money, and I spent it, I was happy and I confessed it to myself.
Giacomo Casanova
We love without heeding reason, and cease to love in the same manner.
Giacomo Casanova
I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent.
Giacomo Casanova
A man who makes known his love by words is a fool.
Giacomo Casanova
Thence, I suppose, my natural disposition to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness.
Giacomo Casanova
Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses.
Giacomo Casanova
If you want to make people laugh, your face must remain serious.
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
I have often met with happiness after some imprudent step which ought to have brought ruin upon me, and although passing a vote of censure upon myself I would thank God for his mercy.
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
My errors will point to thinking men the various roads, and will teach them the great art of treading on the brink of the precipice without falling into it.
Giacomo Casanova
The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.
Giacomo Casanova
There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives.
Giacomo Casanova
They are the follies inherent to youth I make sport of them, and, if you are kind, you will not yourself refuse them a good-natured smile.
Giacomo Casanova
