Our comforts come from God; our sorrows, from ourselves.
It needs as much generosity to take as to give.
The greatest pleasures of love are inseparable from its greatest pains: Love has the face of a goddess, but the talons of a lion.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
We are not men, but promises of men.
For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
