Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Nature always wears colours of the spirit.
Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
The earth laughs in flowers.
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
We don’t count a man’s years, until he has nothing else to count.
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul.
