“Wherever a heart beats with love, wherever Faith and Reason utter their oracles, there is God, as formerly in the hearts of seers and prophets. No soil on earth is so holy as the good man’s heart.”

“A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.”

“A man does what he can; a woman does what a man cannot.”

“No one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart.”
