The more one judges, the less one loves. - Honore de Balzac

"Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other."

"A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea."

"Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside."

"All happiness depends on courage and work."

"If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye."
