Anne-Sophie Swetchine Quotes and Quotations
To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others. The heart has always the pardoning power. We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse. Our vanity is the constant enemy of our dignity. Old age is that night of life, as night is the old age of day. Still night is full of magnificence and, for many, it is more brilliant than the day. We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more. Providence has hidden a charm in difficult undertakings, which is appreciated only by those who dare to grapple with them. To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.
