Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?

Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine

Every artist was first an amateur

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind

The first wealth is health

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit

Earth laughs in flowers

Difficulties exist to be surmounted

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience

All diseases run into one, old age

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail
