"Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside."

"Reading brings us unknown friends"

"All happiness depends on courage and work."

"If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye."
