More quotes by Sophie Swetchine
The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
By becoming unhappy, we sometimes learn how to be less so.
Sophie Swetchine
Time is the shower of Danae each drop is golden.
Sophie Swetchine
True poets, like great artists, have scarcely any childhood, and no old age.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
Attention is a silent and perpetual flattery.
Sophie Swetchine
Piety softens all that courage bears.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
It would seem that by our sorrows only are we called to a knowledge of the Infinite. Are we happy? The limits of life constrain us on all sides.
Sophie Swetchine
Let us not fail to scatter along our pathway the seeds of kindness and sympathy. Some of them will doubtless perish but if one only lives, it will perfume our steps and rejoice our eyes.
Sophie Swetchine
What I value most next to eternity is time.
Sophie Swetchine
To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.
Sophie Swetchine
Youth should be a savings bank.
Sophie Swetchine
Indifferent souls never part. Impassioned souls part, and return to one another, because they can do no better.
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
The most culpable of the excesses of Liberty is the harm she does herself.
Sophie Swetchine
Love sometimes elevates, creates new qualities, suspends the working of evil inclinations but only for a day. Love, then, is an Oriental despot, whose glance lifts a slave from the dust, and then consigns him to it again.
Sophie Swetchine
The chains which cramp us most are those which weigh on us least.
Sophie Swetchine
