"Love, like fire, cannot subsist without constant..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“True eloquence consists in saying all that should be said, and that only.”

“Things often offer themselves to our mind in a more finished form in the very first thought, than we might have made them by muchart and study.”

“All who know their own minds know not their own hearts.”

“I can combine the greatest love with the greatest opposition to wrong.”

“The rationale for loving others is the recognition of the simple fact that every living being has the same right to and the same desire for happiness, and not suffering, and the consideration that you as one individual are one life unit as compared with the mulititude of others in their ceaseless quest for happiness.”

“The poor world is almost six thousand years old, and in all this time there was not any man died in his own person,videlicet, in a love-cause.”

“I've had rainbows in my clouds.”

“I'll look as if I'm dead, and that won't be true.' I said nothing. 'You understand. It's too far. I can't take this body with me. It's too heavy.' I said nothing. 'But it'll be like an old abandoned shell. There's nothing sad about an old shell...' I said nothing. 'It'll be nice, you know. I'll be looking at the stars, too. All the stars will be wells with a rusty pulley. All the stars will pour out water for me to drink...' I said nothing. 'And it'll be fun! You'll have five-hundred million little bells; I'll have five-hundred million springs of fresh water...' And he, too, said nothing more.”

“Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.”
