Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.

Our entire life, with our fine moral code and our precious freedom, consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

God is on everyone's side... and in the last analysis, he is on the side with plenty of money and large armies.

Until the day of his death no man can be sure of his courage.

Believe me; all evil comes from the old. They grow fat on ideas and young men die of them.

To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It is easy to say no, even if saying no means death.

Oh, love is real enough; you will find it someday, but it has one archenemy - and that is life.
