face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and
true."

many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."
"Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs."
"Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human
nature."

in."
"I do not know the American gentleman, God forgive me for
putting two such words together."
"Accidents will occur even

another."
"Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never
tries, and a touch that never hurts."
