"The only way to be truly rich is to have no needs."

"I have always been a victim of my own generosity."

"The greatest pleasure is to be able to live one's life without regrets, and to know that one has lived it to the fullest."

"I loved, I was loved, my health was good, I had plenty of money; I gave in to temptation, I committed follies, but I never knew misfortune."

"I have always been of the opinion that a woman who is not a fool is not a woman, for folly is a woman's greatest charm."
