We are not men, but promises of men..

Life is not meant to be hard: if it is, we make it so..

What we know is to what we do not know, as a grain of sand is to the beach..

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….

For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it..

Few can tell what they know without also showing what they do not know..

If silence is good for the wise, how much better is it for the foolish!.

Better to deserve praise without having it, than to have it without deserving it..

It is not the roaring thunder that smites, but the silent lightning..

The best life is that which makes the best of life..

To go through life without love is to travel through the world in a carriage with closed windows..

Solve the problem of life? Live, and you solve it..

It needs as much generosity to take as to give..

The best way to deceive a knave is to tell him the truth..

Gossip is putting two and two together, and making it five..

The wealthy seldom possess wealth: oftener they are possessed by it..

Of the future, man knows least; yet, about this, he worries most..

The wise man hath his thoughts in his head; the fool, on his tongue..

Our comforts come from God; our sorrows, from ourselves..

Love has the face of a goddess, but the talons of a lion..

Let not adversity oppress thee: be rather like unto the nail; the farther 'tis hammered, the firmer it holds..
