"The love of new acquaintance comes not..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Our actions are like blank rhymes, to which everyone applies what sense he pleases.”

“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally tobe nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”

“It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved.”

“Her heart-is given him, with all its love and truth. She would joyfully die with him, or, better than that, die for him. She knows he has failings, but she thinks they have grown up through his being like one cast away, for the want of something to trust in, and care for, and think well of.”

“In marriage, if you're a guy, learn two phrases. One is "yes, dear" and the other is "honey, you're right." Be patient. Be good friends first. And stick together. You gotta work at it. It's not all a honeymoon, it's not all flowers and roses, but if you're friends and partners and committed, you'll be okay. And everybody's got advice for you - don't listen.”

“I often wish I'd got on better with your father,' he said.”

“Fame and admiration weigh not a feather in the scale against friendship and love, for the heart languishes all the same.”

“I think him every thing that is worthy and amiable.”

“Whenever Elvin Jones comes to Seattle I try to go catch him.”
