Emulation is active virtue; envy is brooding malice.
Love is cruel as the grave.
The world never leaves one in ignorance or in peace.
The song that we hear with our ears is only the song that is sung in our hearts.
Hypocrites weep, and you cannot tell their tears from those of saints; but no bad man ever laughed sweetly yet.
A great love is an absolute isolation and an absolute absorption.
