Sympathy

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love

Fire burns only when we are near it, but a beautiful face burns and inflames, though at a distance

Love those who love you.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them

I love those who yearn for the impossible

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim's sympathies

A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.

Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart.

Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness

He who loves his enemies betrays his friends; this surely is not what Jesus meant.

When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
