Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
Happiness gives us the energy which is the basis of health.
Charm is the quality in others that makes us more satisfied with ourselves.
Obstinacy is will asserting itself without being able to justify itself. It is persistence without a reasonable motive. It is the tenacity of self-love substituted for that of reason and conscience.
The more a man loves, the more he suffers. The sum of possible grief for each soul is in proportion to its degree of perfection.
In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past - a pious guardian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared.
Knowledge, love, power-there is the complete life.
