Men scanning the surface count the wicked happy; they see not the frightful dreams that crowd a bad man's pillow.

Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume.

Hope and be happy that all's for the best!

When thou choosest a wife, think not only of thyself, but of those God may give thee of her, that they reproach thee not for their being.

Not few nor light are the burdens of life; then load it not with heaviness of spirit.

How beautiful is modesty! It winneth upon all beholders; but a word or a glance may destroy the pure love that should have been for thee.

The pen has shaken nations.
