The heart of a good man is the sanctuary of God in this world.
Dignity and love do not blend.
Love is the only possession which we can carry with us beyond the grave.
Order in a house ought to be like the machinery in opera, whose effect produces great pleasure, but whose ends must be hid.
One can impose silence on sentiment, but one can not give it limits.
Where love and wisdom drink out of the same cup, in this everyday world, it is the exception.
