Quotes

  • The man who in this world can keep the whiteness of his soul is not likely to lose it in any other.
  • Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.
  • Everything is sweetened by risk.
  • In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place to-day, it is vain to seek it there to-morrow. You can not lay a trap for it.
