«A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.»
«There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.»
«Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.»
«He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart»
«The tongue is the only tool that gets sharper with use»
«Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.»
«I've had it with you and your emotional constipation!»
«A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.»
«Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.»
