“The heart, like the mind, has a memory.
And in it are kept the most precious keepsakes.”

“Experience had taught me that even the most precious memories fade with the passage of time.”

“Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don't go along with that. The memories I value most, I don't see them ever fading.”

“A woman's mind is her most precious weapon. It must not be employed clumsily or prematurely. Much like the aforementioned knife in the back, a clever gibe is most effective when it is unanticipated.”

“The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”

“How very desolate that breast must be,
Whose only joyance is in memory!
And what must woman suffer, thus betrayed?—
Her heart's most warm and precious feelings made
But things wherewith to wound: that heart—so weak,
So soft—laid open to the vulture's beak!”

“Memory, of all the powers of the mind, is the most delicate and frail.”

“Virtue is like precious odors — most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed.”

“A memory, pressed into my heart like a leaf in a book.”

“Of two hearts one is always warm and one is always cold: the cold heart is more precious than diamonds: the warm heart has no value and is thrown away.”
