Harriet Beecher-Stowe Quote

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

A little rebellion now and then is a good thing

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife

Optimism: The doctrine or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong

Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance
