It is a bad business, dealing in lottery tickets ... Riches got in such a hasty manner never wear well.
Sarah Josepha Hale
Riches are always over estimated the enjoyment they give is more in the pursuit than the possession.
Sarah Josepha Hale
Morning ... 'tis Nature's gayest hour!
Sarah Josepha Hale
self-control, in every station and to every individual, is indispensable, if people would retain that equanimity of mind, which, depending on self-respect, is the essential of contentment and happiness.
Sarah Josepha Hale
This is a speculating and selfish age and to think 'money will answer all things,' is too much the characteristic of Americans.
Sarah Josepha Hale
Water is the grand epic of creation and there is not a human soul but feels the influence of its majesty, its power, or its beauty.
