Diane de Poitiers Quotes and Quotations
We only make a dupe of the friend whose advice we ask, for we never tell him all; and it is usually what we have left unsaid that decides our conduct. Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, in the other everything to gain. She was born in the year of our Lord only knows. The years that a woman subtracts from her age are not lost. They are added to other women's.
