Charlotte Bronte
Silence is of different kinds, and breathes different meanings.
Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Bronte
as much good-will may be conveyed in one hearty word as in many.
Charlotte Bronte
On the contrary, I'm a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world.
Charlotte Bronte
