I like to read about Moses best, in th' Old Testament. He carried a hard business well through, and died when other folks were going to reap the fruits; a man must have courage to look after his life so, and think what'll come f it after he's dead and gone.

Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.

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.

Don't judge a book by its cover

But certain winds will make men's temper bad.

Susceptible persons are more affected by a change of tone that by unexpected words.
