For no one loves the bearer of bad tidings.
Time is a kindly God.
We have only a little time to please the living. But all eternity to love the dead.
The stubbornest of wills Are soonest bended, as the hardest iron, O'er-heated in the fire to brittleness,Flies soonest into fragments, shivered through.
Kindness will always attract kindness.
What house, bloated with luxury, ever became prosperous without a woman's excellence?
