“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done.”

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

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

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

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

Your past does not equal your future.
