Quotes from Madame Swetchine

By becoming more unhappy, we sometimes learn how to be less so.

Might we not say to the confused voices which sometimes arise from the depths of our being: "Ladies, be so kind as to speak only four at a time?"

We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.

We are rich only through what we give; and poor only through we refuse and keep.
