Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
 all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
~ Julia Ward Howe
All the sugar was in the bottom of the cup.
The strokes of the pen need deliberation as much as the sword needs swiftness.
I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.
