I have seen that every one forgives much in themselves that they find unpardonable in other people.

... trouble of all kinds is voluble, and has plenty of words, but happiness was never written down.

Kindness is always fashionable.

Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished.

Laughter is always fatal to feeling.

To take offence is a great folly, and to give offence is a great folly - I know not which is the greater.

Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.
