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

"I would rather be attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do to an author is to be silent as to his works."

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

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

"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."

"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."
