More quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
You know, there are two good things in life, freedom of thought and freedom of action.
You can do anything in this world if you are prepared to take the consequences.
Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.
But when all was said the important thing was to love rather than to be loved.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
