Passion doesn't look beyond the moment of its existence.

Fame - a few words upon a tombstone, and the truth of those not to be depended on.

The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it.

We give our best affections to the beautiful, only our second best to the useful.

Discretion is the salt, and fancy the sugar of life; the one preserves, the other sweetens it.

Tearless grief bleeds inwardly.

The loss of a beloved connection awakens an interest in Heaven before unfelt.
