To learn is not to know; there are the learners and the lear... - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

"Those born to wealth, and who have the means of gratifying every wish, know not what is the real happiness of life, just as those who have been tossed on the stormy waters of the ocean on a few frail planks can alone realize the blessings of fair weather."

"Philosophy cannot be taught; it is the application of the sciences to truth."

"For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God."

"Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance."

"Woman is sacred; the woman one loves is holy."
