"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."
"Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree."
"No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher."
"He who is best prepared can best serve his moment of inspiration."
"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."
