Though small was your allowance, You saved a little store: And those who save a little, Shall get a plenty more.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Be it remembered that man subsists upon the air more than upon his meat and drink but no one can exist for an hour without a copious supply of air. The atmosphere which some breathe is contaminated and adulterated, and with its vital principles so diminished that it cannot fully decarbonize the blood, nor fully excite the nervous system.

Malice is of the boomerang character, and is apt to turn upon the projector.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Love seems to survive life, and to reach beyond it. I think we take it with us past the grave. Do we not still give it to those who have left us? May we not hope that they feel it for us, and that we shall leave it here in one or two fond bosoms, when we also are gone?
William Makepeace Thackeray
Diffidence is a sort of false modesty.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Those who are gone, you have. Those who departed loving you, love you still and you love them always. They are not really gone, those dear hearts and true they are only gone into the next room and you will presently get up and follow them, and yonder door will close upon you, and you will be no more seen.
William Makepeace Thackeray
