I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot!

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

It is not the length of life, but the depth.

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

History has shown there are no invincible armies.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.

We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
