Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle d... - Samuel Johnson

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

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

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

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

"Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it."
