Complacency which may be felt, but ought never to be published Condescension which renders approbation more offensive Conduct of the sort which cements and revives attachments Conjugal impatience of the Duc de Bourgogne Console me on the morrow for what had troubled me to-day Countries of the Inquisition, where science is a crime Country where power forces the law to lie dormant Cuddlings and caresses of decrepitude Customs are nearly equal to laws Danger of inducing hypocrisy by placing devotion too high Danger of confiding the administration to noblemen Dared to say to me, so he writes Dead always in fault, and cannot be put out of sight too soon Death came to laugh at him for the sweating labour he had taken Declaring the Duke of Orleans the constitutional King Depicting other figures she really portrays her own Depopulated a quarter of the realm Desmarets no longer knew of what wood to make a crutch Difference between brilliant theories and the simplest practice Dignified tone which alone secures the respect due to power Displaying her acquirements with rather too much confidence Distinguished for their piety or rewarded for their flattery Do not repulse him in his fond moments Domestics included two nurses, a waiting-maid, a physician Duc de Grammont, then Ambassador, played the Confessor Duc d'Orleans, when called on to give his vote for death of King Duplicity passes for wit, and frankness is looked upon as folly Easy to give places to men to whom Nature has refused parts Educate his children as quietists in matters of religion Elegant entertainments were given to Doctor Franklin Embonpoint of the French Princesses Encounter with dignity and self-command unbecoming provocations Enriched one at the expense of the other Envy and malice are self-deceivers Error to admit any neutrality at all Etiquette still existed at Court, dignity alone was wanting Even doubt whether he believes in the existence of a God Everything in the world bore a double aspect Exceeded all that was promised of her, and all that I had hoped Exclaimed so long against high head-dresses Expeditious justice, as it is called here Extravagances of a head filled with paradoxes Extravagant, without the means to be so Extreme simplicity was the Queens first and only real mistake Fashion of wearing a black coat without being in mourning Fatal error of conscious rectitude Favourite of a queen is not, in France, a happy one Feel themselves injured by the favour shown to others Feeling, however, the want of consolation in their misfortunes Few would be enriched at the expense of the many Few individuals except Princesses do with parade and publicity Follies and superstitions as the rosaries and other things Foolishly occupying themselves with petty matters For penance: "we must make our servants fast" For want of better support I sustained myself with courage Forced military men to kneel before priests Formed rather to endure calamity with patience than to contend
