We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.

Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart.

Our foibles are really what make us lovable.

We can really respect a man only if he doesn't always look out for himself.

America, you have it better than our continent, the old one.

The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.

The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.
