"Love is the occupation of the idle..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“A man is not dependent upon his fellow creature, when he does not fear death.”

“The stupid speak of the past, the wise of the present, and fools of the future.”

“Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.”

“O heart, we are old;The living beauty is for younger men:We cannot pay its tribute of wild tears.”

“If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action. Thoughts, readings and discourse on love are of value only as they present questions to be acted upon.”

“Mature love is composed and sustaining; a celebration of commitment, companionship, and trust.”

“To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not - there is no weakness in that.”

“I am more uncertain than I ever was; I feel only the power of life. And I am senselessly empty.”

“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”
