When men are young, they want experience and when they have gained experience, they want energy.

One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than its frank admission.

Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.

Fear makes us feel our humanity.

Twilight makes us pensive; Aurora is the goddess of activity; despair curses at midnight; hope blesses at noon.

There are few faces that can afford to smile: a smile is sometimes bewitching, in general vapid, often a contortion.

The world is ruled by other people, than people believe to know.
