“We need never be ashamed of our tears.”

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

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.

Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes.
