Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
As falls the dew on quenchless sands, blood only serves to wash ambition’s hands.
There is no instinct like that of the heart.
Adversity is the first path to truth.
Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn’t know.
They never fail who die in a great cause.
The busy have no time for tears.
Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.
