More From Delphine De Girardin

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.
Summer Sports Winter
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, and age is tame.

Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. perhaps you will say a man is not young; i answer he is rich. he is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.
Love Witty Money
People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons; twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons; twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. it's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
When i was one-and-twenty i heard a wise man say, `give crowns and pounds and guineas but not your heart away; give pearls away and rubies but keep your fancy free.' but i was one-and-twenty no use to talk to me. when i was one-and-twenty i heard him say again, `the heart out of the bosom was never given in vain; 'tis paid with sighs a plenty and sold for endless rue.' and i am two-and-twenty and oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

When love could teach a monarch to be wise, and gospel-light first dawn'd from bullen's eyes.

A general flat minimum-wage law for all industry is permissible, but i do not think that it is a particularly wise method of achieving the end. i know much better methods of providing a minimum for everybody. but once you turn from laying down a general minimum for all industry to decreeing particular and different minimum for different industries, then, of course, you make the price mechanism inoperative, because it is no longer the price mechanism which will guide people between industries and trades.

The wise man thinks of fame just enough to avoid being despised.
