Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly?

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.

I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.
