Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.
Education sows not seeds in you, but makes your seeds grow.
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
Love that does not renew itself every day becomes a habit and in turn a slavery.
You may forget with whom you laughed, but you will never forget with whom you wept.
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
