For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it..
Our comforts come from God; our sorrows, from ourselves..
It is not the roaring thunder that smites, but the silent lightning..
Solve the problem of life? Live, and you solve it..
Gossip is putting two and two together, and making it five..
For misdirected love, the attainment of its object is, indeed, the best cure; but it cures as the guillotine cures headache..
The wise man hath his thoughts in his head; the fool, on his tongue..
Let not adversity oppress thee: be rather like unto the nail; the farther 'tis hammered, the firmer it holds..
Of the future, man knows least; yet, about this, he worries most..
Few can tell what they know without also showing what they do not know..
Love has the face of a goddess, but the talons of a lion..
The best way to deceive a knave is to tell him the truth..
It needs as much generosity to take as to give..
To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows..
The best life is that which makes the best of life..
Experience, if we only learn by it, is cheap at any price..
For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere….
Better to deserve praise without having it, than to have it without deserving it..
Men are willing to admit that they are sinners, but not that they are sinning..
If silence is good for the wise, how much better is it for the foolish!.
The wealthy seldom possess wealth: oftener they are possessed by it..
