5. Beauty must be clean and pure, both in image and in heart. ——Montesquieu
6. If you just want happiness, it is not difficult at all; the difficulty is that we always hope to be happier than others. ——Montesquieu
7. Generally speaking, a talented person has difficulty getting along with others, and the people he chooses are very few. ——Montesquieu
8. When we talk to others, we must pay special attention, because this is when others "evaluate" us. ——Montesquieu
