Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though... - Samuel Johnson

"Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it."

"It is necessary to hope... for hope itself is happiness."

"Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise."

"There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible."

"The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne."
