Giacomo Casanova
There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives.
Giacomo Casanova
I have felt in my very blood, ever since I was born, a most unconquerable hatred towards the whole tribe of fools, and it arises from the fact that I feel myself a blockhead whenever I am in their company.
Giacomo Casanova
Hatred, in the course of time, kills the unhappy wretch who delights in nursing it in his bosom.
Giacomo Casanova
If you want to make people laugh, your face must remain serious.
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
