The man who has no inner life is the slave of his surroundings.

Every life is a profession of faith and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.

Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority

Common sense is calculation applied to life.

Life is short. Be swift to love! Make haste to be kind!

The man who insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides. Accept life, and you must accept regret.
