“The time of universal peace is near.Prove this a prosp'rous day, the three-nooked worldShall bear the olive freely.”

“Every beauty, when out of it's place, is a beauty no longer.”

“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”

“Everything is on such a clear financial basis in France. It is the simplest country to live in. No one makes things complicated by becoming your friend for any obscure reason. If you want people to like you you have only to spend a little money. I spent a little money and the waiter liked me. He appreciated my valuable qualities. He would be glad to see me, and would want me at his table. It would be a sincere liking because it would have a sound basis. I was back in France.”

“Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.”

“I think music is honest and will make you do honest things.”
