Nobody is kind to only one person at once, but to many persons in one.

Kind words are the music of the world.

There is a great deal of self-will in the world, but very little genuine independence of character.

It has always seemed to me that a love of natural objects, and the depth, as well as exuberance and refinement of mind, produced by an intelligent delight in scenery, are elements of the first importance in the education of the young.

Poor human nature cannot do everything; and kindness is too often left uncultivated, because men do not sufficiently understand its value. Men may be charitable, yet not kind; merciful, yet not kind; self-denying, yet not kind. If they would add a little common kindness to their uncommon graces, they would convert ten where they now only abate the prejudice of one.

The buried talent is the sunken rock on which most lives strike and founder.

God always fills in all hearts all the room which is left Him there.
