Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, in the other everything to gain.

Men at any age truly never grow up. All, no matter what importance they may have attained, are still no more than little boys.

It is easier to win love than to keep it.

It is easier to die for a cause than to live for it.

Courage is as often the outcome of despair as of hope; in the one case we have nothing to lose, in the other everything to gain.

Calumny is like counterfeit money; many people who would not coin it circulate it without qualms.

It is only love that has already fallen sick that is killed by absence.
