Health can make money, but money cannot make health.

Hope can produce the finest and most permanent springs of action.

I find the love of garden grows upon me as I grow older more and more. Shrubs and flowers and such small gay things, that bloom and please and fade and wither and are gone and we care not for them, are refreshing interests, in life, and if we cannot say never fading pleasures, we may say unreproved pleasures and never grieving losses.

It is not so easy to do good as those who have never attempted it may imagine.

It is quite fitting that charity should begin at home ... but then it should not end at home; for those that help nobody will find none to help them in time of need.

Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property.

How success changes the opinion of men!
