Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful, kind, sunshiny old age. - Lydia Maria Child

The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.

The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and crimes of humanity, all lie in that one word LOVE. It is the divine vitality that produces and restores life. To each and every one of us it gives the power of working miracles, if we will.

Over the river, and through the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way,
To carry the sleigh,
Through the white and drifted snow.
