“A mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.”

“There is no friendship, no love, like that of the mother for the child.”

“The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.”

“Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart”

“Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.”

“Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.”

“No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is in the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has”
