Phychical pain is more easily borne than physical; and if I had my choice between a bad conscience and a bad tooth, I should choose the former.

Human misery is too great for men to die without faith.

The fountain of love is the rose and the lily, the sun and the dove.

Life is the greatest of blessings and death the worst of evils.... all great, powerful souls love life.

Round my cradle shimmered the last moonbeams of the eighteenth century and the first morning rays of the nineteenth.

Whether a revolution succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.

The sun's sweet ray is hovering discovered.
