We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
From Madame de Stael
Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.
That past which is so presumptuously brought forward as a precedent for the present, was itself founded on some past that went before it.
Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty.
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
The sense of this word among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it; enthusiasm signifies God in us.
Sow good services: sweet remembrances will grow from them.
Wit consists in knowing the resemblance of things that differ, and the difference of things that are alike.
When a noble life has prepared for old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
