“Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.”

To love or have loved, that is enough.

It is nothing to die; it is frightful not to live.

He who opens a school door, closes a prison.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
