More quotes by Giacomo Casanova
one who makes no mistakes makes nothing
Giacomo Casanova
A man who makes known his love by words is a fool.
Giacomo Casanova
I have lived as a philosopher and die as a Christian.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
I don't conquer, I submit.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova
I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence, and I never had any physician except myself.
Giacomo Casanova

Giacomo Casanova

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
Love is three quarters curiosity.
Giacomo Casanova
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
Giacomo Casanova
[Malipiero's advice to Casanova.] If you wish your audience to cry, you must shed tears yourself, but if you wish to make them laugh you must contrive to look as serious as a judge.
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
I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding.
Giacomo Casanova
The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.
Giacomo Casanova
Be the flame, not the moth.
Giacomo Casanova
If you want to make people laugh, your face must remain serious.
Giacomo Casanova
