More quotes by Sophie Swetchine
True poets, like great artists, have scarcely any childhood, and no old age.
Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine

Sophie Swetchine
We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.
Sophie Swetchine
Death is the justification of all the ways of the Christian, the last end of all his sacrifices, the touch of the Great Master which completes the picture.
Sophie Swetchine
Youth should be a savings bank.
Sophie Swetchine
Pride dries the tears of anger and vexation humility, those of grief. The one is indignant that we should suffer the other calms us by the reminder that we deserve nothing else.
Sophie Swetchine
What I value most next to eternity is time.
