Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.
Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.
Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.
Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.
Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.
Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.
