Time enough to think of the future when you haven't any future to think of.

When you loved me I gave you the whole sun and stars to play with. I gave you eternity in a single moment, strength of the mountains in one clasp of your arms, and the volume of all the seas in one impulse of your soul.

I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.

It is feeling that sets a man thinking, and not thought that sets him feeling.

An English army led by an Irish general: that might be a match for a French army led by an Italian general.

The man who has never made a mistake will never make anything else.
