I treat my heart like a sick child and gratify its every fancy

All men would be masters of others, and no man is lord of himself.

Yet he who grasps the moment's gift, He is the proper man.

A resolution that is communicated is no longer within thy power; thy attentions become now the plaything of chance; he who would have his commands certainly carried out must take man by surprise.

If you live criticizing people, you won't have time to love them.

Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.

Faith is hidden household capital.
