Were it not better to forget than to remember and regret?
From Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Whatever people in general do not understand, they are always prepared to dislike; the incomprehensible is always the obnoxious.
Ah, tell me not that memory sheds gladness o'er the past, what is recalled by faded flowers, save that they did not last?
Delicious tears! The heart's own dew.
There is a large stock on hand; but somehow or other, nobody's experience ever suits us but our own.
We might have been - these are but common words, and yet they make the sum of life's bewailing.
Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature; for life is never so low or so little as when occupied with the present.
