time
And they are shoulders which ought to
be seen
Believing themselves irresistible
But she will give me nothing but money
Duty, simply accepted and simply
discharged
Frenchman has only one real luxury--his
revolutions
God may have sent him to purgatory just
for form's sake
Great difference between dearly and
very much
Had not told all--one never does tell
all
He led the brilliant and miserable
existence of the unoccupied
If there is one! (a paradise)
In order to make money, the first thing
is to have no need of it
Love and tranquillity seldom dwell at
peace in the same heart
Never foolish to spend money. The
folly lies in keeping it
Often been compared to Eugene Sue, but
his touch is lighter
One half of his life belonged to the

Ordinary, trivial, every-day objects
Prayers swallowed like pills by
invalids at a distance
Seeking for a change which can no
longer be found
Trees, dwarfed by a Japanese process
When the inattentive spirits are not
listening
Which I should find amusing in any one
else,--any one I loved
CONSCIENCE, By Hector Malot
As ignorant as a schoolmaster
As free from prejudices as one may be,
one always retains a few
Confidence in one's self is strength,
but it is also weakness
Conscience is a bad weighing-machine
Conscience is only an affair of
environment and of education
