Where there is no novelty, there can be no curiosity.

No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.

Of all that writ, he was the wisest bard, who spoke this mighty truth- He that knew all that ever learning writ, Knew only this-that he knew nothing yet.

That perfect tranquillity of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.

As love is the most noble and divine passion of the soul, so is it that to which we may justly attribute all the real satisfactions of life, and without it, man is unfinished, and unhappy.

One hour of right-down love is worth an age of dully living on.
