Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
Love makes fools of all of us, big and little.
Let us be very gentle with our neighbors’ failings, and forgive our friends their debts as we hope ourselves to be forgiven.
Let the man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim. Attacking is his only secret. Dare, and the world always yields: or, if it beat you sometimes, dare again, and it will succumb.
Kindnesses are easily forgotten; but injuries! – what worthy man does not keep those in mind?
It is the ordinary lot of people to have no friends if they themselves care for nobody.
It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
It is impossible in our condition of society, not to be sometimes a Snob.
It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.
In houses where, in place of that sacred, inmost flame of love, there is discord at the centre, the whole household becomes hypocritical, and each lies to his neighbor.
If there is no love more in yonder heart, it is but a corpse unburied.
