When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the 'nay' in your own mind, nor do you withhold the 'ay. And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

Inspiration will always sing; inspiration will never explain.

And let to-day embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.

Every man loves two women;the one is the creation of his imagination and the other is not yet born

Marriage is like a golden ring in a chain, whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity.

Death changes nothing but the mask that covers our faces.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
