Lofty mountains are full of springs; great hearts are full of tears.
Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite impressions.
Conscientious men are, almost everywhere, less encouraged than tolerated.
Great dejection often follows great enthusiasm.
Present unhappiness is selfish; past sorrow is compassionate.
As long as we love, we lend to the beloved object qualities of mind and heart which we deprive him of when the day of misunderstanding arrives.
