Old Age Is The Verdict Of Life.

Spiritual Favors Are Not Always To Be Looked For, And Not Always To Be Relied On.

When We Leave Society And Come Into The Presence Of Nature, We Become Children Again; And The Fictions Of Thought And Action Assumed Among Men Drop Off Like A Garment.

... If Fiction Does Not Show Us A Better Life Than Reality, What Is The Good Of It?

... Money Trials Are Not The Hardest, And Somehow Or Other, They Are Always Overcome.

That Is The Great Mistake About The Affections. It Is Not The Rise And Fall Of Empires, The Birth And Death Of Kings, Or The Marching Of Armies That Move Them Most. When They Answer From Their Depths, It Is To The Domestic Joys And Tragedies Of Life.
