"Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet."
"Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole."
"No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor."
"Silence does not always mark wisdom."
"If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us."
