We are led on, like little children, by a way we know not.

Souls have complexions too: what will suit one will not suit another

It is surely better to pardon too much, than to condemn too much.

There's things to put up wi' in ivery place, an' you may change an' change an' not better yourself when all's said an' done.

I know forgiveness is a man's duty, but, to my thinking, that can only mean as you're to give up all thoughts o' taking revenge: it can never mean as you're t' have your old feelings back again, for that's not possible.

It is always good to know, if only in passing, charming human beings. It refreshes one like flowers and woods and clear brooks.

But most of us are apt to settle within ourselves that the man who blocks our way is odious, and not to mind causing him a little of the disgust which his personality excites in ourselves.
