Quotations for preserving

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet. [ William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet ]

Preserving the health by too strict a regimen is a wearisome malady. [ La Rochefoucauld ]

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. [ George Washington ]

Not to be lost in idle admiration is the only sure means of making and of preserving happiness. [ Horace ]

Chance suggests thoughts; changes deprive us of them: there is no rule for preserving or acquiring them. [ Pascal ]

Reason exercises merely the function of preserving order, is, so to say, the police in the region of art. In life it is mostly a cold arithmetician summing up our follies. [ Heine ]
