He who has loved often ... has loved never.

Man must be disappointed with the lesser things of life before he can comprehend the full value of the greater.

There is in the heart of woman such a deep well of love that no age can freeze it.

The heart of a girl is like a convent--the holier the cloister, the more charitable the door.

Imitation, if noble and general, insures the best hope of originality.

Fortune is said to be blind, but her favorites never are. Ambition has the eye of the eagle, prudence that of the lynx; the first looks through the air, the last along the ground.

Fate! There is no fate. Between the thought and the success God is the only agent. Fate is not the ruler, but the servant of Providence.
