How to love
(Book)

Oh, how powerfully the magnet of illusion attracts

A man is known by the company he avoids. Don't blame the mirror for your own reflection ; Fear is the prison of the heart ; Always borrow from a pessimist, he won't expect to be paid back ; No hell is private ; Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain ; The best of compasses does not point to true north ; We cannot direct the wind but we can trim the sails ; Life is rarely as simple as we would have it ; We flatter ourselves if we believe that our character is fixed ; What is essential is invisible to the eye ; The first duty of love is to listen ; When all is said and done, more is said than done

People to cherish. The essential virtues ; Kindness ; Optimism ; Courage ; Loyalty ; Tolerance ; Honesty ; Beauty ; Humor ; Flexibility ; Intelligence

It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question. The most dangerous food to eat is a wedding cake ; The gods are too fond of a joke : the role of chance in human affairs ; Love will make you forget time and time will make you forget love ; Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing ; Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe ; Experience : test first, lesson later ; The trouble with parents is that by the time they are experienced they are unemployed ; If it weren't for marriage, men and women would have to fight with total strangers ; Beware of those who are sure they are right ; Money can't buy happiness, it can, however, rent it ; Ideas are easier to love than people ; If you were arrested for kindness, would there be enough evidence to convict?
