Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.

Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

To be perfectly happy it does not suffice to possess happiness, it is necessary to have deserved it.

What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.

Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.
