The only difference between a sinner and a saint is found in their attitude toward their sins–the one persisting in them; the others weep bitterly.

Our personal dispositions are as windowspanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.

Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner in his joy. He who shares tears with us wipes them away. He divides them in two, and he who laughs with us makes the joy double.
