Time is the shower of Danae; each drop is golden.

When fresh sorrows have caused us to take some steps in the right way, we may not complain. We have invested in a life annuity, but the income remains.

Virtue is the daughter of Religion; Repentance, her adopted child,--a poor orphan who, without the asylum which she offers, would not know where to hide her sole treasure, her tears!

The beings who appear cold, but are only timid, adore where they dare to love.

Happiness and Virtue clasp hands and walk together.

The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.

We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly.
