Quote by Matteo Ricci

“It would be necessary that they should be already sages to love wisdom: a truth that was felt at once by him to whom philosophy owes its name.”

“Eternity is in love with the productions of time.”

“There is only one good thing in life, and that is love.”

“A heart that beats at your approach, an eye that weeps when you go away are things so rare, so sweet, so precious that they must never be despised.”
