[I]t is much easier for an active mind to acquire the virtues of patience, than for a passive one to assume those of energy.
- John Stuart Mill
El amor no es sólo un sentimiento. Es también un arte.
- Balzac
What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
- Samuel Johnson
I'll let you decide whether I read the likes of Mill, Balzac, and Johnson for pleasure.

I'm slightly confused as to why the Balzac quote is in Spanish and not French.
I thought Honoré was a funny name for a Spaniard . . . the quote is in Spanish because I get a daily quote in Spanish, and that was the quote one day.
But how do you know that Balzac didn't say it in Spanish?
Because she's never wrong... never... ever... not once. *Sniff*
