...it is only death which is hopeless.

Sunday, that day so tedious to the triflers of earth, so full of beautiful reposes of calmness and strength for the earnest and heavenly minded.

Aspirations after the holy,--the only aspiration in which the human soul can be assured that it will never meet with disappointment.

There are many true ladies, and they differ somewhat from society generally. So does a true gentleman, on the same principle of refinement and nobility of character.

...it is only death which is hopeless.
