The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.

A young bride is like a plucked flower; but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.

Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane.

There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.

Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.
