The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband.

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure.

Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane.

In diving to the bottom of pleasure we bring up more gravel than pearls.

Love may be or it may not, but where it is, it ought to reveal itself in its immensity.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.

A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

Don't overestimate everyone else and underestimate yourself

I have lived through many wars and have lost everything many times Yet, life is beautiful, and I have so much to learn and enjoy. I have no space nor time for pessimism and hate.

I guess in life I find people who, at first glance, appear to be very typical or average, whatever that means, and then turn out to have hidden qualities.

I am a visual man. I watch, watch, watch. I understand things through my eyes.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils.

Make the most of whatever it is that floats your boat.

If the shoe fits you're lucky.

His voice, even now, follows me everywhere on this longest of rides, this thing called life.

Pain is not something to be feared; it is something to be understood.

It's an Afghanistan goat, so it can't stay here, or else it'll choke on the sweet air of freedom.
