Love would never be a promise of a rose garden unless it is showered with light of faith, water of sincerity and air of passion. Sometimes we make love with our eyes. Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts. If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. To love another person is to see the face of God.

Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.

It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.

When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.

Never laugh at those who suffer; suffer sometimes those who laugh.

I love all men who think, even those who think otherwise than myself.
