A curse is like a cloud--it passes.
      - [Curses]

All are of the race of God, and have in themselves good.
      - [Goodness]

. . . amid life's quests
  That seems but worthy one--to do men good.
      - [Benevolence]

Application is the price to be paid for mental acquisition. To have the harvest, we must sow the seed.
      - [Industry]

Blessings star forth forever; but a curse is like a cloud, it passes.
      - [Blessings]

Blest is he whose heart is the home of the great dead and their great thoughts.
      - [Blessedness]

Dear Lord, our God and Saviour! for Thy gifts
  The world were poor in thanks, though every soul
    Were to do nought but breathe them, every blade
      Of grass, and every atomie of earth
        To utter it like dew.
      - [God]

Death is another life.
      - [Death]

Death, thou art infinite; it is life is little.
      - [Death]

Dew-drops, Nature's tears, which she
  Sheds in her own breast for the fair which die.
    The sun insists on gladness; but at night,
      When he is gone, poor Nature loves to weep.
      - [Dew]

Doubt is the shadow of truth.
      - [Doubt]

Dreams are rudiments
  Of the great state to come. We dream what is
    About to happen.
      - [Dreams]

Earth's liquid jewelry, wrought of air.
      - [Dew]

Error is worse than ignorance.
      - [Error]

Evil is limited. One cannot form
  A scheme for universal evil.
      - [Evil]

Evil then results from imperfection.
      - [Evil]

Fulfil thy fate! Be--do--bear--and thank God.
      - [Fate]

God's love seemed lost upon him.
      - [Depravity]

Grief hallows hearts, even while it ages heads.
      - [Grief]

He is a fool who is not for love and beauty. I speak unto the young, for I am of them and always shall be.
      - [Appreciation]

He who has most of heart knows most of sorrow.
      - [Heart]

Her cheek had the pale pearly pink
  Of sea shells, the world's sweetest tint, as though
    She lived, one-half might deem, on roses sopp'd
      In pearly dew.
      - [Beauty]

Her step is music, and her voice is song.
      - [Grace]

I am tired of looking on what is,
  One might as well see beauty never more,
    As look upon it with an empty eye.
      I would this world were over. I am tired.
      - [Ennui]

I cannot be content with less than heaven.
      - [Heaven]
