Nothing excellent can be done without leisure.

The individual man tries to escape the race. And as soon as he ceases to represent the race, he represents man.

What thwarts us and demands of us the greatest effort is also what can teach us most.

Money cannot buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable. Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.

It is the special quality of love not to be able to remain stationary, to be obliged to increase under pain of diminishing.

Then you think that one can keep a hopeless love in one's heart for so long as that?...And that life can breathe upon it every day, without extinguishing it?

Life never presents us with anything which may not be looked upon as a fresh starting point, no less than as a termination.
