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.

A woman's whole life is a history of the affections.

---

Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.

---

There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard.

---

Surely happiness is reflective, like the light of heaven

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

---

The tongue is the only instrument that gets sharper with use.

---

Enthusiasts soon understand each other.

He who thinks much says but little in proportion to his thoughts. He selects that language which will convey his ideas in the most explicit and direct manner. He tries to compress as much thought as possible into a few words. On the contrary, the man who talks everlastingly and promiscuously, who seems to have an exhaustless magazine of sound, crowds so many words into his thoughts that he always obscures, and very frequently conceals them.
