Quotes
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice. - William Makepeace Thackeray
Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. - Nathaniel Hawthorne
If you want to be happy, be. - Leo Tolstoy
