I have passed the period of a woman's life when as a woman she is loved; but I have have not outlived the power of loving.

There are as many kinds of love$$$ as there are hearts.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" — and find that there is no death.

Whatever you fight$$$ you strengthen$$$ and what you resist$$$ persists.

Little by little$$$ one travels far.

No victory without suffering.

The past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation$$$ of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.

I think the two things most opposed to good counsel are haste and passion; haste usually goes hand in hand with folly$$$ passion with coarseness and narrowness of mind.

Three of the greatest failings: want of sense$$$ of courage$$$ or of vigilance.

When one is deprived of ones liberty$$$ one is right in blaming not so much the man who puts the shackles on as the one who had the power to prevent him$$$ but did not use it.
