George Sand's quote
Amantine (also "Amandine") Lucile Aurore Dupin (French: ), later Baroness (French: baronne) Dudevant (1 July 1804 – 8 June 1876), best known by her pseudonym George Sand (French: ), was a French novelist and memoirist.
One is happy once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness: simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self denial to a point, love of work, and above all, a clear conscience.
Correspondance, 1812-1876, Volume 5
Let us accept truth, even when it surprises us and alters our views.
