A boy's love comes from a full heart; a man's is more often the result of a full stomach. Indeed, a man's sluggish current may not be called love, compared with the rushing fountain that wells up when a boy's heart is struck with the heavenly rod. If you would taste love, drink of the pure stream that youth pours out at your feet. Do not wait till it has become a muddy river before you stoop to catch its waves.

Olyanok, akik próbálták, mondták nekem, hogy a tiszta lelkiismeret nagyon boldoggá és megelégedetté teszi az embert; de ezt a teli gyomor éppúgy elvégzi, csakhogy olcsóbban és sokkal könnyebben.
