in God alone is love without tears, and of eternal duration.

One fancies that what one loves cannot die.

We all owe each other concessions of taste and opinion for the sake of family peace and affection.

in God alone is love without tears, and of eternal duration.

A little time separates us from those who depart - a time of tears, a time of sadness and solitude; but, that over, we go to rejoin them and to enjoy with them the society of the blessed. Oh, how sweetly the heart rests in this immortal hope!

The effect of every burden laid down is to leave us relieved; and when the soul has laid down that of its faults at the feet of God, it feels as though it had wings.

Witticisms are fire-arms, that make a noise and give pain.
