More quotes by Giacomo Casanova
The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.
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
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
Whether happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure man possesses.
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
Be the flame, not the moth.
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
If you want to make people laugh, your face must remain serious.
Giacomo Casanova
There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives.
Giacomo Casanova
The story she had told me was possible, but it was not believable.
Giacomo Casanova
In fact, to gull a fool seems to me an exploit worthy of a witty man.
Giacomo Casanova
The pleasure I gave my lovers was a four fifth of the pleasure I experienced.
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
one who makes no mistakes makes nothing
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
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
I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding.
Giacomo Casanova
It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
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
