Love knows not distance; it hath no continent; its eyes are for the stars.
From Gilbert Parker
Memory is man's greatest friend and worst enemy.
Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living.
He knew the lie of silence to be as evil as the lie of speech.
It is not the broken heart that kills, but broken pride, monseigneur.
For when a child is born the mother also is born again.
There is no influence like the influence of habit.
There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.
The real business of life is trying to understand each other.
It's the people who try to be clever who never are; the people who are clever never think of trying to be.
