Anatole France on virtue

When a thing has been said and well said, have no scruple: take it and copy it.

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
