Quote

Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.

We do not precisely enjoy liberty at the Figaro. M. de Latouche, our worthy director (ah! you should know the fellow), is always hanging over us, cutting, pruning, right or wrong, imposing upon us his whims, his aberrations, his fancies, and we have to write as he bids.

All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.

God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.

[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!

I know that I have found fulfillment. I have an object in life, a task ... a passion.
