Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.
From Alphonse Karr
If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.
The more things change, the more they are the same.

If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.
Happiness is composed of misfortunes avoided.
We can invent only with memory.
Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.
Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.
Many people think that virtue consists of severity towards others.
