It is necessary to hope... for hope itself is happiness. - Samuel Johnson

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

"That we must all die, we always knew; I wish I had remembered it sooner."

"There is nothing so minute or inconsiderable that I would not rather know it than not know it."

"What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence."

"Friendship, like love, is destroyed by long absence, though it may be increased by short intermissions."
