Every man is a book in which God himself writes.

What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!

He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.

Not being heard is no reason for silence.

Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.

There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.

A smile is the same as sunshine; it banishes winter from the human countenance.

Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just.

When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.

No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.

People do not lack strength; they lack will.

The learned man knows that he is ignorant.

Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.

If you don't build castles in the air you won't build anything on the ground.

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.

The wise man does not grow old, but ripens.

Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

Those who do not weep, do not see.

The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.
