We never know the love of the parent for the child till we become parents.

Let every man come to God in his own way.

It takes a man to make a devil; and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.

When a man says that he is perfect already, there is only one of two places for him, and that is heaven or the lunatic asylum.

Our children that die young are like those spring bulbs which have their flowers prepared beforehand, and leave nothing to do but to break ground, and blossom, and pass away. Thank God for spring flowers among men, as well as among the grasses of the field.

Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
