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.”
