All that is noble in the world's past history, and especially the minds of the great and good, are, in like manner, never lost.

Grief is only the memory of widowed affections.

The incarnation is true, not of Christ exclusively, but of Man universally, and God everlastingly.

Grief is only the memory of widowed affection. The more intense the delight in the presence of the object, the more poignant must be the impression of the absence.

There is no room in the universe for the least contempt or pride; but only for a gentle and a reverent heart.

I bow in reverence before the emotions of every melted heart....The more intense the delight in their presence, the more poignant the impression of their absence....When the tears of bereavement have had their natural flow, they lead us again to life and love's generous joy.

We are each of us responsible for the evil we may have prevented.
