Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.

It is opposition that makes us productive.

To know of someone here and there whom we accord with, who is living on with us, even in silence - - this makes our earthly ball a peopled garden.

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature; he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.

You accuse a woman of wavering affections, but don't blame her; she is just looking for a consistent man.

What chance gathers, she easily scatters. A great person attracts great people and knows how to hold them together.
