Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
No one is useless in the world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else.
There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.
Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.
A day wasted on others is not wasted on one’s self.
Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers.
The first rule of business is: Do other men for they would do you.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
