Love sacrifices all things to bless the thing it loves.

The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion.

What is past is past, there is a future left to all men, who have the virtue to repent and the energy to atone.

What is human is immortal!

Revenge is a common passion; it is the sin of the uninstructed. The savage deems it noble;but the religion of Christ, which is the sublime civilizer, emphatically condemns it. Why? Because religion ever seeks to ennoble man; and nothing so debases him as revenge.

It is a glorious fever, desire to know.

O woman! woman! thou shouldest have few sins of thine own to answer for! Thou art the author of such a book of follies in a man that it would need the tears of all the angels to blot the record out.
