"Stars may be seen from the bottom..." - Quote by Charles Spurgeon

“Nothing but grace makes a man so humble and, at the same time, so glad.”

“A thrifty housewife is better than a great income. A good wife and health are a man's best wealth.”

“Home is the grandest of all institutions.”

“We have not journeyed all this way because we are made of sugar candy.”

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise [in the future. But only if we set out to make this true and anticipate it so we look for the blessings until we find them].”

“I am like a wounded animal in a remote isolated place - How wonderful! - How happy!”

“Every person that you meet knows something you don't; learn from them.”

“He had always known what I did not know and what, when I learned it, I was always able to forget. But I did not know that then, although I learned it later.”

“Everything is hard before it is easy.”
