"What a grand thing, to be loved!..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The wise man is he who knows when and how to stop”

“The first symptom of love in a young man is timidity; in a girl boldness.”

“It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.”

“I must feel pride in my friend's accomplishments as if they were mine,--and a property in his virtues. I feel as warmly when he ispraised, as the lover when he hears applause of his engaged maiden.”

“* if someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows, in all the millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars.”

“Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises”

“I consider myself to be just one among 7 billion human beings. If I were to think of myself as different from others, or as something special, it would create a barrier between us. What makes us the same is that we all want to lead happy lives and gather friends around us. And friendship is based on trust, honesty and openness.”

“I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke that I was not happy.”

“Happy the man who from the sea escapes the storm and finds harbor.”
