We have used the Bible as if it were a mere special constable's handbook, an opium dose for keeping beasts of burden patient while they are overloaded.
A man may learn from his Bible to be a more thorough gentleman than if he had been brought up in all the drawing-rooms in London.
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever.
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
The world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows the rain; and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again.
