“Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun.”

“To enlarge or illustrate this power and effect of love is to set a candle in the sun.”

“One was never married, and that's his hell another is, and that's his plague.”

“What is life, when wanting love? Night without a morning love's the cloudless summer sun, nature gay adorning.”
