Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven. - Henry Ward Beecher

"We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves."

"It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship."

"Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low."

"Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?"

"All words are pegs to hang ideas on."
