Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise. - Samuel Johnson

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

"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."

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

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

"Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent."
