“The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.”

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves — say rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

Life is a flower of which love is the honey.

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further.

He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
