Contentment is not happiness. An oyster may be contented. Happiness is compounded of richer elements.
Christian Nestell BoveeA genuine passion is like a mountain stream; it admits of no impediment; it cannot go backward; it must go forward.
Christian Nestell BoveeA mother's love is indeed the golden link that binds youth to age; and he is still but a child, however time may have furrowed his cheek, or silvered his brow, who can yet recall, with a softened heart, the fond devotion, or the gentle chidings, of the best friend that God gives us.
