There is in this world no real delight (excepting those of sensuality), but exchange of ideas in conversation.
Johnson, Samuel
Sensual pleasures are like soap bubbles, sparkling, effervescent. The pleasures of intellect are calm, beautiful, sublime, ever enduring and climbing upward to the borders of the unseen world.
Aughey, John H.

If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the flesh.
Seneca

Smith, James R.
No one is qualified to converse in public except those contented to do without such conversation.
Kempis, Thomas
