Eat, drink and love…the rest is not worth a nickel
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Always laugh when you can; it is cheap medicine. Merriment is a philosophy not well understood. It is the sunny side of existence.
Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
There is music in all things, if men had ears.
Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth; whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
