Nathaniel Hawthorne
Earth has one angel less and heaven one more, since yesterday.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be so or not.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nothing is more unaccountable than the spell that often lurks in a spoken word. A thought may be present to the mind, and two minds conscious of the same thought, but as long as it remains unspoken their familiar talk flows quietly over the hidden idea.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Honesty and wisdom are such a delightful pastime, at another person's expense!
Nathaniel Hawthorne
