Truly, this world can go on without us, if we would but think so.

Where'er a noble deed is wrought, Where'er is spoken a noble thought, Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise.

Fair words gladden so many a heart.

The men that women marry, And why they marry them, will always be A marvel and a mystery to the world.

An enlightened mind is not hoodwinked; it is not shut up in a gloomy prison till it thinks the walls of its dungeon the limits of the universe, and the reach of its own chain the outer verge of intelligence.

The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken.

Death is the chillness that precedes the dawn; We shudder for a moment, then awake In the broad sunshine of the other life.
