Time is the shower of Danae; each drop is golden.
To have ideas is to gather flowers; to think is to weave them into garlands.
The only true method of action in this world is to be in it, but not of it.
The world has no sympathy with any but positive griefs. It will pity you for what you lose; never for what you lack
Those who have suffered much are like those who know many languages; they have learned to understand and be understood by all.
There is nothing at all in life, except what we put there.
