Quotes

▶

"When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough."; "We possess only the happiness we are able to understand."; "We are never the same with others as when we are alone. We are different, even when we are in the dark with them."; "They believe that nothing will happen because they have closed their doors."; "Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves.";  …

"Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness."; "Our reason may prove what it will: our reason is only a feeble ray that has issued from Nature."; "No great inner event befalls those who summon it not."; "Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance."; "It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom."; "How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words."; "Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence."; "Do we not all spend the greater part of our lives under the shadow of an event that has not yet come to pass?"; "At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past."; "An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it."; "All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing."; "A truth that disheartens because it is true is of more value than the most stimulating of falsehoods."
