There is no corner too quiet, or too far away, for a woman to make sorrow in it.
It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.
the matrimonial shoe pinches me.
what is unreasonable is irrefutable.
For still I see that forethought spares afterthought and after-sorrow.
