One forgives to the degree that one loves.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld Author

There is a sort of love whose very excessiveness prevents the lover's being jealous.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld Author

Few know how to be old.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld Author

Esteem never makes ingrates.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld Author

The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.

Victor Hugo Poet

Stubbornness destroys good advice.

Ali Ibn Abi Talib Rashidun

There is the silence of age, too full of wisdom for the tongue to utter it in words intelligible to those who have not lived the great range of life.

Edgar Lee Masters Poet

You may command Nature to the extent only in which you are willing to obey her. You cannot intelligently obey that which you do not comprehend. Therefore I also say, ask of Nature that you may be one with her and she will whisper her secrets to you to the extent in which you are prepared to listen. Seek to be alone much to commune with Nature and be thus inspired by her mighty whisperings within your consciousness. Nature is a most jealous god, for she will not whisper her inspiring revelations to you unless you are absolutely alone with her.

Walter Russell Author

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

Richard P. Feynman Physicist

He who hesitates is sometimes wise.

Malcolm Forbes Publisher
