Madame de Stael
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
Madame de Stael
That past which is so presumptuously brought forward as a precedent for the present, was itself founded on some past that went before it.
Madame de Stael
The success of any man with any woman is apt to displease even his best friends.
