"Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure." — George Sand

Women love always: when earth slips from them, they take refuge in heaven.

He who draws noble delights from sentiments of poetry is a true poet, though he has never written a line in all his life.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.

Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.
