There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

It is not enough to have great qualities We should also have the management of them.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.
