What makes old age so sad is, not that our joys, but that our hopes then cease.
Laughing cheerfulness throws the light of day on all the paths of life.
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
It is not the end of joy that makes old age so sad, but the end of hope.
Paradise is always where love dwells.
