Nothing is difficult in the eyes of a lover.
Every animal loves itself.
Thus nature has no love for solitude, and always leans, as it were, on some support; and the sweetest support is found in the most intimate friendship.
Life is nothing without friendship.
Rightly defined philosophy is simply the love of wisdom.
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.
Next to God we are nothing. To God we are Everything.
In fact the whole passion ordinarily termed love (and heaven help me if I can think of any other term to apply to it) is of such exceeding triviality that I see nothing that I think comparable with it.
Nature loves nothing solitary, and always reaches out to something, as a support, which ever in the sincerest friend is most delightful.
We should measure affection, not like youngsters by the ardor of its passion, but by its strength and constancy.
The science of love is the philosophy of the heart
The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk.
The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.
Philosophy, rightly defined, is simply the love of wisdom.
