Less disappointing than life, great works of art do not begin by giving us all their best. — Marcel Proust. French novelist, literary critic, and essayist (1871–1922) Art
We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
