We love being in love, that's the truth on't.

It is all very well for you, who have probably never seen any spiritual manifestations, to talk as you do; but if you had seen what I have witnessed you would hold a different opinion.

Ah! gracious Heaven gives us eyes to see our own wrong, however dim age may make them; and knees not too stiff to kneel, in spite of years, cramp, and rheumatism.

Alas! we are the sport of destiny.

It is from the level of calamities, not that of every-day life, that we learn impressive and useful lessons.

Pray God, keep us simple.

True love is better than glory.
