Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue.
The honied tongue hath its poison.
Life's cares are comforts; such by Heav'n design'd; He that hath none must make them, or be wretched.
No man doth safely rule, but he that hath learned gladly to obey.
Whatever hath been written shall remain, Nor be erased nor written o'er again; The unwritten only still belongs to thee: Take heed, and ponder well what that shall be.
Fate hath no voice but the heart's impulse.
With you a part of me hath passed away; For in the peopled forest of my mind A tree made leafless by this wintry wind Shall never don again its green array. Chapel and fireside, country road and bay, Have something of their friendliness resigned; Another, if I would, I could not find, And I am grown much older in a day. But yet I treasure in my memory Your gift of charity, and young hearts ease, And the dear honour of your amity; For these once mine, my life is rich with these. And I scarce know which part may greater be,-- What I keep of you, or you rob from me.
Time hath a taming hand.
I have lived long enough, having seen one thing, that love hath an end
Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
How beautiful the water is! To me 'tis wondrous fair-- No spot can ever lonely be If water sparkle there; It hath a thousand tongues of mirth, Of grandeur, or delight, And every heart is gladder made When water greets the sight.
I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people.
A faithful friend is a strong defense; And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
He who feels contempt for any living thing hath faculties that he hath never used, and thought with him is in its infancy.
As the body dieth when the soul departeth, so the soul of man dieth, when it hath not the knowledge of God.
Hee that should have what hee hath not, should doe what he doth not.
He hath eaten me out of house and home.
The soul of man createth its own destiny of power; and as the trial is intenser here, his being hath a nobler strength in heaven.
God is all that is good, as to my sight, and the goodness that each thing hath, it is He.
