"Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it."

"Happiness is like a ball; we run after it while it is rolling, and we kick it when it stops."

"To learn to read is to light a fire; every word spelled out is a spark."

"One day, when I am old, I shall sit by the fire and remember that I have been happy."

"We are always in a hurry to be happy, for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune."
