It ever is the marked propensity of restless and aspiring minds to look into the stretch of dark futurity.
A good man's prayers will from the deepest dungeon climb heaven's height, and bring a blessing down.
A willing heart adds feather to the heel.
Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride.
The plainest case in many words entangling.
The bliss even of a moment still is bliss.
