Seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.

Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold.

Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past - the best evidence of regret for them that we can offer, or the world receive.

Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.

We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.

Attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it.

He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today.
