Work alone qualifies us for life.

Nothing seems so tragic to one who is old as the death of one who is young, and this alone proves that life is a good thing.

To accuse is so easy that it is infamous to do so where proof is impossible!

Even the great can have only their own sort of greatness.

It is much more exquisite to be blown from the tree as a flower than to be shaken down as a shriveled and bitter fruit.

Shutting one's eyes is an art, my dear. I suppose there's no use trying to make you see that - but that's the only way one can stay married.

No one can ever help loving anyone.
