Arsène Houssaye

"Whoever embarks with a woman embarks with a storm; but they are themselves the safety boats."

"Seize all the joy you can that robs no other. Sleep in peace, play in jolly earnest, wag well and mean it, and finally, be happy always. The more I see of dogs the less I think of men. Whoever beats dogs loves not man."

"We must always have old memories and young hopes."

"Have you not sometimes seen happiness? Yes, the happiness of others."

"Friendship lives on its income, love devours its capital."
