Do not put your trust in a bad companion nor even trust an ordinary friend, for if he should get angry with you, he may bring all your secrets to light.

Secrets travel fast in Paris.

I feel that what was done in the dark will come to light. There are secrets everybody's gonna find out about.

Do not tell secrets to those whose faith and silence you have not already tested.

There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.

Those base men who speak of the secret faults of others destroy themselves like serpents that stray onto anthills.
