"Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise."
"The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope."
"There is nothing so minute or inconsiderable that I would not rather know it than not know it."
"Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent."
"Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise."
