No one can keep a secret better than a child.

Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.

Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.

Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!

Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter.

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
