All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
Time deals gently only with those who take it gently.
Unhappiness does make people look stupid.
Human affairs inspire in noble hearts only two feelings-admiration or pity.
If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
