The subject of history is the life of peoples and mankind.

Life could be limitless joy, if we would only take it for what it is, in the way it is given to us.

How often we sin, how much we deceive, and all for what?... All will end in death, all!

What time can be more beautiful when the one in which the finest virtues, innocent cheerfulness and indefinable longing for love constitute the sole motives of your life.

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

As we live through thousands of dreams in our present life, so is our present life only one of many thousands of such lives which we enter from the other more real life and then return after death. Our life is but one of the dreams of that more real life, and so it is endlessly, until the very last one, the very real the life of God.

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.
