The world has no sympathy with any but positive griefs. It will pity you for what you lose; never for what you lack
We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.
If grief is to be mitigated, it must either wear itself out or be shared.
Since there must be chimeras, why is not perfection the chimera of all men?
Attention is a silent and perpetual flattery.
Loving souls are like paupers. They live on what is given them.
