Literature is the garden of wisdom.
The mind paints before the brush.
It is a sure sign of a mind not balanced as it ought to be, when it is insensible to the pleasures of the domestic hearth, and to the little joys and endearments of a family.
Better an ugly face than an ugly mind.
The lazy man aims at nothing, and generally hits it.
We can all be heroes in our virtues, in our homes, in our lives.
