I cannot take back one word or action; the past does not change for anyone.

Begin with word, end in action.

Suit the action to the word, the word to the action

A word is not the same with one writer as with another. One tears it from his guts. The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.

In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.

One look, all is said. One word, all is lived. (Un regard, tout est dit. - Une parole, tout se vit.)
