We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.
~ Alphonse Karr
The more things change the more they remain the same.
Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.
Happiness is composed of misfortunes avoided.
If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns I am thankful that thorns have roses.
Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.
The more things change, the more they are the same.
