He who has loved often ... has loved never.

The distinguishing trait of people accustomed to good society is a calm, imperturbable quiet which pervades all their actions and habits, from the greatest to the least. They eat in quiet, move in quiet, live in quiet, and lose their wife, or even their money, in quiet; while low persons cannot take up either a spoon or an affront without making such an amazing noise about it.

He whom God hath gifted with a love of retirement possesses, as it were, an extra sense.

He who seeks repentance for the past, should woo the angel virtue for the future.

Earnestness is the best gift of mental power, and deficiency of heart is the cause of many men never becoming great.

The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion.

The haughty woman who can stand alone, and requires no leaning-place in our hearts, loses the spell of her sex.
