Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.

To be among people one loves, that's sufficient; to dream, to speak to them, to be silent among them, to think of indifferent things; but among them, everything is equal.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

We must laugh before we are happy, for fear of dying without having laughed at all.

We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together.

We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.

When a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and manly thoughts, seek for no other test of its excellence. It is good, and made by a good workman.

There's no fool like an old fool--you can't beat experience.

(1860—1937)

English novelist

I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows.
