“Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.”

It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.

When love has fused and mingled two beings in sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned.

Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in – what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!

Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.

Wisdom is the health of the soul.

Life’s great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

Toleration is the best religion.

People do not lack strength, they lack will.

The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.

Love is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.

Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.

Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead. I shall feel it.

If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness

Like any parent, I just want the best for my kids, whatever they decide to do. They will choose what path they want to follow, and we will always be there to encourage them.

I’m a normal human being. I don’t have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Your little child is the only true democrat.

I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me.

Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.

I have never once regretted missing a business opportunity so that I could be with my children and grandchildren.

I have enough music coming out of my kids’ bedrooms when I’m at home.

There is a world up ahead where people are not targeted for beliefs or bodies, where peace isn’t a fantasy but reality. Build the world you hope your children will see.
