If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul: hope and patience.

In this theater of man's life, it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers-on.

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.

Before all, be real. Only the truth gives to the word the Orpheus' Lyre power.

Do not talk a little on many subjects, but much on a few.

There is no word or action but has its echo in Eternity.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.
