Such a deep silence surrounds me, that I think I hear moonbeams striking on the windows.

Să nu te cerţi cu oamenii mai mult decât cu tine însuţi.

De atunci femeia-ascunde sub pleoape-o taina si-si misca geana parc-ar zice ca ea stie ceva, ce noi nu stim, ce nimenea nu stie , nici Dumnezeu chiar.

Wise is the person at either end. Who can in due measure spare as well as spend.

The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poet says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, but should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more. He should know in his writings no country and no city; he should bow to no authority and acknowledge no king. He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred.

The happy think a lifetime short, but to the unhappy one night can be an eternity.
