That Grief Is The Most Durable Which

We Never Know The Blessings Bestowed On Us Until We Are Separated From The Possession Of Them.

We Value The Devotedness Of Friendship Rather As An Oblation To Vanity Than As A Free Interchange Of Hearts; An Endearing Contract Of Sympathy, Mutual Forbearance, And Respect!

Happiness Is A Sunbeam Which May Pass Through A Thousand Bosoms Without Losing A Particle Of Its Original Ray; Nay, When It Strikes On A Kindred Heart, Like The Converged Light On A Mirror, It Reflects Itself With Redoubled Brightness. It Is Not Perfected Till It Is Shared.

It Has Been Wisely Said, "that Well May Thy Guardian Angel Suffer Thee To Lose Thy Locks, When Thou Darest Wilfully To Lay Thy Head In The Lap Of Temptation!" Was It Not Easier For The Hero Of Judaea To Avoid The Touch Of The Fair Philistine, Than To Elude Her Power When Held In Her Arms?

It Is Not Designed That The Road Should Be Made Too Smooth For Us Here Upon Earth.
