"The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love." ― Jean de la Bruyere Topic(s): Love More From Jean de la Bruyere "Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates." "There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience." "We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together." More In Love "Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion."― Miguel de Unamuno "We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do."― Mother Teresa "The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future."― Lord Acton
