quotes:

"Love lies beyond / The tomb, the earth, which fades like dew! / I love the fond, / The faithful, and the true."

"The best way to avoid a bad action is by doing a good one, for there is no difficulty in the world like that of trying to do nothing"

"Language has not the power to speak what love indites: The soul lies buried in the ink that writes"

"I long for scenes where man has never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator God And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below, above, the vaulted sky."

"And all the charms of face or voice Which I in others see, Are but the recollected choice Of what I feel for thee"

"If life had a second edition, how I would correct the proofs"
