That which we know is but little; that which we have a presentiment of is immense; it is in this direction that the poet outruns the learned man.
Conscientious men are, almost everywhere, less encouraged than tolerated.
Persons of delicate taste endure stupid criticism better than they do stupid praise.
That which deceives us and does us harm, also undeceives us and does us good.
Interest, ambition, fortune, time, temper, love, all kill friendship.
Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite impressions.
