“There are souls which fall from heaven like flowers, but ere they bloom are crus…” — Jean Paul

Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.

Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.

Beauty attracts us men; but if, like an armed magnet it is pointed, beside, with gold and silver, it attracts with tenfold power.

There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.
