The mind wears the colors of the soul, as a valet those of his master.
From Sophie Swetchine
There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.
Our vanity is the constant enemy of our dignity.
In order to have an enemy, one must be somebody. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force. A malicious enemy is better than a clumsy friend.
We expect everything and are prepared for nothing.
Strength alone knows conflict, weakness is born vanquished.
The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.
The chains which cramp us most are those which weigh on us least.
Travel is the frivolous part of serious lives, and the serious part of frivolous ones.
The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick.
