Feeling loves a subdued light.

All the joys of earth will not assuage our thirst for happiness; while a single grief suffices to shroud life in a sombre veil, and smite it with nothingness at all points.

Our vanity is the constant enemy of our dignity.

Prayer has a right to the word "ineffable." It is an hour of outpourings which words cannot express,--of that interior speech which we do not articulate, even when we employ it.

One must be a somebody before they can have an enemy. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force.

A malicious enemy is better than a clumsy friend.

There is a transcendent power in example.
