I slept and dreamed that life was beauty.I awoke — and found that life was duty.

I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.

The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.

A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

I only know how true it is: that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.

Life is too short to be little.

Love endures only when the lovers love many things together and not merely each other.
