"It is easier to fall in love..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“A weak mind is the only defect out of our power to mend.”

“In their early passions women are in love with the lover, later they are in love with love.”

“Eloquence: saying the proper thing and stopping.”

“The soldier takes pride in saluting his Captain,The devotee proffers a knee to his Lord,Some back a mare thrown from a thoroughbred,Troy backed its Helen, Troy died and adored;Great nations blossom above,A slave bows down to a slave.”

“The things that make me cry are when the people I love have gone through pain and I’ve seen it.”

“A total immersion in life offers the best classroom for learning to love.”

“I often accuse my finest acquaintances of an immense frivolity; for, while there are manners and compliments we do not meet, we donot teach one another the lessons of honesty and sincerity that the brutes do, or of steadiness and solidity that the rocks do. The fault is commonly mutual; however, for we do not habitually demand any more of each other.”

“Our friends - how distant, how mute, how seldom visited and little known. And I, too, am dim to my friends and unknown; a phantom, sometimes seen, often not. Life is a dream surely.”

“Love is the flower you've got to let grow.”
