“Even you are not rich enough, Sir Robert, to buy back your past. No man is”
“When a man is old enough to do wrong he should be old enough to do right also.”
“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”
“If a man treats life artistically, his brain is his heart”
“What is done is done. What is past is past.""You call yesterday the past?""What has the actual lapse of time got to do with it? It is only shallow people who require years to get rid of an emotion. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
“Every woman becomes their mother. That's their tragedy. And no man becomes his. That's his tragedy.”
