“You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination.”
Violet Trefusis
“A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.”
Honore de Balzac
“No lover ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt.”
Winston Churchill
“What is the student but a lover courting a fickle mistress who ever eludes his grasp?”
William Osler
“A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.”
Henry Fielding
“Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking”
Carl Gustav Jung
“If you can kiss the mistress, never kiss the maid”
Proverb
