It is always worth while asking a question, though it is not always worth while answering one.

No man is rich enough to buy back his past.

We are the zanies of sorrow. We are clowns whose hearts are broken.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.

It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack of style.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement. Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman. When one is in love one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. This is what the world calls a romance.

On an occasion of this kind it becomes more than a moral duty to speak one's mind. It becomes a pleasure.
