Nothing can be more airy and beautiful than the transparent seed-globe-a fairy dome of splendid architecture.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men judge of Christians by taking as fair samples those that lie rotten on the ground.
Henry Ward Beecher

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.
