All Mankind love a lover.
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
Every man in his lifetime needs to thank his faults.
When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
We must be our own before we can be another's.
