A word that has been said may be unsaid-it is but air. But when a deed is done, it cannot be undone, nor can our thoughts reach out to all the mischiefs that may follow.

There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

Let us, then, be what we are; speak what we think; and in all things keep ourselves loyal to truth.

A Lady with a Lamp shall stand In the great history of the land, A noble type of good, Heroic womanhood.

The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless; love is eternal.

Love makes its record in deeper colors as we grow out of childhood into manhood.

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