Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
The capacity for passion is both cruel and divine.
There is only one happiness in life, to love and to be loved.
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, to one's affections, and one's inner happiness.
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.
