The sight of nature fascinates the family tie has a sweet enchantment and patriotism gives the religious spirit a fiery devotion to the powers that it reveres.

As I pass it I feel as if I saw a dear old mother sweet in her weakness trembling at the approach of her dissolution but not appealing to me against the inevitable rather endeavouring to reassure me by her patience and pointing to a hopeful future.

Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue where patience honor sweet humility and calm fortitude take root and strongly flourish.

Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet.

Of all nature's gifts to the human race what is sweeter to a man than his children?

I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin.

Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure making the music sound sweeter the wine taste richer the laughter ring louder because they are there.

I often begin movies with music in my head it's a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don't like to be too sweet in my stories and I like the abrasive clang the contrasting of sounds and cultures.

It's the contemporary woman that movies don't know what to do with other than bathe her in a bridal glow in romantic comedies where both the romance and the comedy are artificial sweeteners.
