Flowers never emit so sweet ...

Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower.

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger.

 Jean Paul
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.

Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest.
