Love makes everything lovely; hate concentrates itself on the one thing hated.

I am an emptiness for Thee to fill; my soul a cavern for Thy sea

When a feeling was there, they felt as if it would never go; when it was gone, they felt as if it had never been; when it returned, they felt as if it had never gone.

Will is not unfrequently weakness.

Alas! how easily things go wrong!

Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.

It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down.
