Losses

The eagle never lost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow

The pleasure of criticizing takes away from us the pleasure of being moved by some very fine things

We see men fall from high estate on account of the very faults through which they attained it

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together

We all have wings, but they have not been of any avail to us and if we could tear them off, we would do so.

To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception; it is an eternal loss for which there is no reparation, either in time or in eternity

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself

Remember that lost time does not return.

It is the style of idealism to console itself for the loss of something old with the ability to gape at something new

He who doesn't lose his wits over certain things has no wits to lose

For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness
