Indulgence is lovely in the sinless; toleration, adorable in the pious and believing heart.

Those who have suffered much are like those who know many languages; they have learned to understand and be understood by all.

Those who make us happy are always thankful to us for being so; their gratitude is the reward of their benefits.

Let us resist the opinion of the world fearlessly, provided only that our self-respect grows in proportion to our indifference.

Friendship is like those ancient altars where the unhappy, and even the guilty, found a sure asylum.

Youth should be a savings bank.

To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.
