France does not practice revenge.
Nature, which alone is good, is wholly familiar and common.
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.
Unless we love the truth we cannot know it.
Cold words freeze people, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make them wrathful. Kind words also produce their own image on men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They smooth, and quiet, and comfort the hearer.
Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men's souls, and a beautiful image it is.
It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
Always speak politely to an enraged Dragon.
Attentiveness is the natural prayer of the Soul.
It was not, after all, so easy to die.
