We are always getting ready to live but never living.
Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
We don’t count a man’s years, until he has nothing else to count.
Imitation is suicide.
The reward of a thing well done is having done it.
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
