Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; a mother's secret hope outlives them all!

Vennskap

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Hukommelse

There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard

Sjalusi

There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others, however humble

A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all.

En far kan vända ryggen åt sitt barn, bröder och systrar kan bli bittra fiender, män kan överge sina fruar, fruar sina män. Men en mors kärlek överlever allt.

Familie

After a man passes sixty, his mischief is mainly in his head

There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

Being a woman

There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

Being a woman

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.

Kommunikasjon

Acting provides the fulfillment of never being fulfilled. You're never as good as you'd like to be. So there's always something to hope for.

Fulfilment

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

Mothers

Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.

Overcoming

There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place

Forandring

After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty

Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
