A great statesman, like a good housekeeper, knows that cleaning has to be done every morning. - André Maurois

Happiness flourishes where there is happiness, and love withers quickly in an atmosphere of constraint and gloom.

Knowledge is ours only if, at the moment of need, it offers itself to the mind without syllogisms or demonstrations for which there is no time.

There is no happiness without forgetfulness. I have never known a real man of action to be unhappy during action. How could he be? Like a child at play, he stops thinking of himself.
