Wait and hope!

We’ll go where the air is pure, where all sounds are soothing, where, no matter how proud one may be, one feels humble and finds oneself small- in short, we’ll go to the sea. I love the sea as one loves a mistress and I long for her when I haven’t seen her for some time

We must never expect discretion in first love: it is accompanied by such excessive joy that unless the joy is allowed to overflow, it will choke you.

If you wish to discover the guilty person, first find out to whom the crime might be useful.

If it is ones lot to be cast among fools, one must learn foolishness.-The Count of Monte Cristo

In this world, all--men, women, and kings--must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God

It is the infirmity of our nature always to believe ourselves much more unhappy than those who groan by our sides!
