ABBE CONSTANTIN
By Ludovic Halevey
Ancient pillars of stone, embrowned and
gnawed by time
And they are shoulders which ought to
be seen
Believing themselves irresistible
But she will give me nothing but money
Duty, simply accepted and simply
discharged
Frenchman has only one real luxury--his
revolutions
God may have sent him to purgatory just
for form's sake
Great difference between dearly and
very much
Had not told all--one never does tell
all
He led the brilliant and miserable
existence of the unoccupied
If there is one! (a paradise)
In order to make money, the first thing
is to have no need of it
Love and tranquillity seldom dwell at
peace in the same heart
Never foolish to spend money. The
folly lies in keeping it
Often been compared to Eugene Sue, but
his touch is lighter
One half of his life belonged to the
poor
One may think of marrying, but one
ought not to try to marry
Succeeded in wearying him by her
importunities and tenderness
The women have enough religion for the
men
The history of good people is often
monotonous or painful
To learn to obey is the only way of
learning to command
