Cunning is the dwarf of wisdom.
A sigh can shatter a castle in the air.
After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.
Polite beggary is too common.
The human heart has a sigh lonelier than the cry of the bittern.
The flower which we do not pluck is the only one which never loses its beauty or its fragrance.
