There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
From George Sand
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
Every historian discloses a new horizon.
The prayers of a lover are more imperious than the menaces of the whole world.
One changes from day to day, and... after a few years have passed one has completely altered.
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
