To love is to know the sacrifices which eternity exacts from life.

When a man forgets his ideals he may hope for happiness, but not till then.

Those who have made unhappy marriages walk on stilts, while the happy ones are on a level with the crowd. No one sees 'em!

There is no misery quite so wearing as the misery of a false position. It seems to slay the body and the soul.

Men astonish themselves far more than they astonish their friends.

All is vanity, and discovering it - the greatest vanity.

Disillusions all come from within ... from the failure of some dear and secret hope. The world makes no promises; we only dream it does; and when we wake, we cry!
