When you give, give with joy and smiling.
Never cut what you can untie.
Tenderness is the rest of passion.
How many books there are whose reputation is made that would not obtain it were it now to make?
Religion must be loved as a kind of country and nursing-mother. It was religion that nourished our virtues, that showed us heaven, that taught us to walk in the path of duty.
God is the place where I do not remember the rest.
