“And we are put on earth a little space that we may learn to bear the beams of love”

“World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain”

“The essentials to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”

“If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own”

“If you have it (love), you don't need to have anything else. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.”

“Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death”
