The world has been busy for some centuries in shutting and locking every door through which a woman could step into wealth, except the door of marriage.

Can anybody tell what sorrows are locked up with our best affections, or what pain may be associated with every pleasure?

It has always been a favorite idea of mine, that there is so much of the human in every man, that the life of any one individual, however obscure, if really and vividly perceived in all its aspirations, struggles, failures, and successes, would command the interest of all others.

The hand of benevolence is everywhere stretched out, searching into abuses, righting wrongs, alleviating distresses, and bringing to the knowledge and sympathies of the world the lowly, the oppressed, and the forgotten.

it isn't mere love and good-will that is needed in a sick-room; it needs knowledge and experience.

We should remember in our dealings with animals that they are a sacred trust to us from our Heavenly Father. They are dumb and cannot speak for themselves.
