Sophie Swetchine
The very might of the human intellect reveals its limits.
Sophie Swetchine
Youth should be a savings bank.
Sophie Swetchine
Let us shun everything, which might tend to efface the primitive lineaments of our individuality. Let us reflect that each one of us is a thought of God.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
The chains which cramp us most are those which weigh on us least.
Sophie Swetchine
