An epigram is but a feeble thing - With straw in tail, stuck there by way of sting.
The few that pray at all pray oft amiss.
What is there in the vale of lifeHalf so delightful as a wife;When friendship, love and peace combineTo stamp the marriage-bond divine?
Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.
A self-made man? Yes, and one who worships his creator.
A life all turbulence and noise may seem To him that leads it wise and to be praised, But wisdom is a pearl with most success Sought in still waters.
