The language of the heart--the language which "comes from the heart" and "goes to the heart"--is always simple, always graceful, and always full of power, but no art of rhetoric can teach it. It is at once the easiest and most difficult language--difficult, since it needs a heart to speak it; easy, because its periods though rounded and full of harmony, are still unstudied.

Kindred weaknesses induce friendships as often as kindred virtues.

Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.

Successful love takes a load off our hearts, and puts it upon our shoulders.

We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us.

Cheerfulness is an offshoot of goodness and of wisdom.

Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great.
