Between being able to and actually doing something lies an ocean, and on its bottom rests all too often the wreck of willpower.

With our parents we bury our past, with our children our future.

You can sink so fast that you think you are flying.

We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don't care for.

Without imagination, there is no goodness, no wisdom.

"People's minds are trained largely at the expense of their hearts." This is not so; it is only that there are more educable minds than there are educable hearts.

Never expect women to be sincere, so long as they are educated to think that their first aim in life is to please.
