“Genius is clairvoyant.”

Only those who love with the heart can animate the love of others.

Genius is always more suggestive than expressive.

Labor is the law of happiness.

I see that time divided is never long, and that regularity abridges all things.

A woman . . . always feels herself complimented by love, though it may be from a man incapable of winning her heart, or perhaps even her esteem.

No great thought, no great object, satisfies the mind at first view, nor at the last.

Genius can never despise labour.
