Decide on what you think is right, and stick to it.

Anger seek it prey,-- Something to tear with sharp-edged tooth and claw, Like not to go off hungry, leaving Love To feast on milk and honeycomb at will.

Character is not cut in marble - it is not something solid and unalterable. It is something living and changing, and may become diseased as our bodies do.

Nature repairs her ravages,--repairs them with her sunshine and with human labor.

It is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings – much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.

The scornful nostril and the high head gather not the odors that lie on the track of truth.

No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.
