Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
Image
People will not bear it when advice is violently given, even if it is well founded. Hearts are flowers they remain open to the softly falling dew, but shut up in the violent downpour of rain.
Jean Paul

It is easier and handier for men to flatter than to praise.
