Giacomo Casanova Quotes

I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence, and I never had any physician except myself Picture Quote #1

I am bound to add that the excess in too little has ever proved in me more dangerous than the excess in too much; the last may cause indigestion, but the first causes death Picture Quote #1

I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent Picture Quote #1

As to the deceit perpetrated upon women, let it pass, for, when love is in the way, men and women as a general rule dupe each other Picture Quote #1

Hope is nothing but a deceitful flatterer accepted by reason only because it is often in need of palliatives Picture Quote #1

There is no honest woman with an uncorrupted heart whom a man is not sure of conquering by dint of gratitude. It is one of the surest and shortest means Picture Quote #1

Whether it is happy or unhappy, a man’s life is the only treasure he can ever possess Picture Quote #1

Should I perchance still feel after my death, I would no longer have any doubt, but I would most certainly give the lie to anyone asserting before me that I was dead Picture Quote #1

My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good Picture Quote #1

Heart and head are the constituent parts of character; temperament has almost nothing to do with it, and, therefore, character is dependent upon education, and is susceptible of being corrected and improved Picture Quote #1

For my future I have no concern, and as a true philosopher, I never would have any, for I know not what it may be: as a Christian, on the other hand, faith must believe without discussion, and the stronger it is, the more it keeps silent Picture Quote #1

As for myself, I always willingly acknowledge my own self as the principal cause of every good and of every evil which may befall me; therefore, I have always found myself capable of being my own pupil, and ready to love my teacher Picture Quote #1

Desires are but pain and torment, and enjoyment is sweet because it delivers us from them Picture Quote #1

Beauty without wit offers nothing but the enjoyment of its material charms, whilst witty ugliness captivates by the charms of the mind, and at last fulfils all the desires of the man it has captivated Picture Quote #1

Enjoy the present, bid defiance to the future, laugh at all those reasonable beings who exercise their reason to avoid the misfortunes which they fear, destroying at the same time the pleasure that they might enjoy Picture Quote #1

The philosopher is a person who refuses no pleasures which do not produce greater sorrows, and who knows how to create new ones Picture Quote #1

When a man is in love very little is enough to throw him into despair and as little to enhance his joy to the utmost Picture Quote #1

Cheating is a sin, but honest cunning is simply prudence. It is a virtue. To be sure, it has a likeness to roguery, but that cannot be helped. He who has not learned to practice it is a fool Picture Quote #1

The same principle that forbids me to lie does not allow me to tell the truth Picture Quote #1

If you have not done things worthy of being written about, at least write things worthy of being read Picture Quote #1

Love is a great poet, its resources are inexhaustible, but if the end it has in view is not obtained, it feels weary and remains silent Picture Quote #1

I saw that everything famous and beautiful in the world, if we judge by the descriptions and drawings of writers and artists, always loses when we go to see it and examine it closely Picture Quote #1

You will be amused when you see that I have more than once deceived without the slightest qualm of conscience, both knaves and fools Picture Quote #1

We avenge intellect when we dupe a fool, and it is a victory not to be despised for a fool is covered with steel and it is often very hard to find his vulnerable part Picture Quote #1

Thence, I suppose, my natural disposition to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness Picture Quote #1

The mind of a human being is formed only of comparisons made in order to examine analogies, and therefore cannot precede the existence of memory Picture Quote #1

Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy Picture Quote #1

My errors will point to thinking men the various roads, and will teach them the great art of treading on the brink of the precipice without falling into it Picture Quote #1

Man is free; yet we must not suppose that he is at liberty to do everything he pleases, for he becomes a slave the moment he allows his actions to be ruled by passion Picture Quote #1
