The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

Nothing you have not given away will ever really be yours.

You can’t know, you can only believe – or not.

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.

What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.

Things never happen the same way twice.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.’

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness.
