More quotes by Sophie Swetchine
The most dangerous of all flattery is the inferiority of those about us.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
Feeling loves a subdued light.

Sophie Swetchine
Happiness and Virtue clasp hands and walk together.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
We do not judge men by what they are in themselves, but by what they are relatively to us.
Sophie Swetchine
Those who have suffered much are like those who know many languages they have learned to understand and be understood by all.
Sophie Swetchine
When fresh sorrows have caused us to take some steps in the right way, we may not complain. We have invested in a life annuity, but the income remains.
Sophie Swetchine
We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly.
Sophie Swetchine
Indifferent souls never part. Impassioned souls part, and return to one another, because they can do no better.
