“Without love and laughter there is no joy; live amid love and laughter.”

“In love there are two evils: war and peace.”

“Happy the man, and happy he alone,he who can call today his own:he who, secure within, can say,Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.Be fair or foul, or rain or shinethe joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”

“A picture is a poem without words.”

“Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.”

“Let him live under the open sky, and dangerously.”

“He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little.”
