The more wary you are of danger, the more likely you are to meet it.

Patience and time do more than strength or passion.

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.

Every flatterer lives at the expense of him who listens to him.

Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.

All the brains in the world are powerless against the sort of stupidity that is in fashion.

Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.

Love always trust and forgives.

No matter how obstacles may "play" you over the bar, you will be able to assume your shape when your passion is always intact. You will not burst!

Looking for someone to value what you have, will keep you coming up empty.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Good people were also capable of doing very bad things.

The saints are never the kind of killjoy spinster aunts who go in for faultfinding and lack all sense of humor.

The fear is simply because you are not living with life, You are living in your mind.

I don't really sit in the sun I have a flagstone terrace surrounding the swimming pool and just carrying the script from the office to the living room gives me an instant suntan.

The minute we get reconciled to a person, how willing we are to throw aside little needless punctilios and pronounce his name right.
