The assault of our enemies is not part of our life; it is only part of our experience; we throw it off and guard ourselves against it as against frost, storm, rain, hail, or any other of the external evils which may be expected to happen.

A wife is a gift bestowed upon a man to reconcile him to the loss of paradise.

The threshold is the place of expectation.

Do you want to live happily? Travel with two bags, one for giving, the other for receiving.

To make something you have to be something.

So long as you live and work, you will be misunderstood; to that you must resign yourself once and for all. Be silent!

The eternal female draws us onward.
