A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Injustice breeds injustice
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families

The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.
Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth; but trust and pity, love and constancy,--they do, thank God!
