It's true that nothing in this world makes us so necessary to others as the affection we have for them.

You shall abstain, shall abstain. That is the eternal song.

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing

One ought, everyday, to hear a song, read a fine poem, and, if possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

What we do not understand we do not possess.
