The stupendous task of human regeneration will be accomplished only by the purified vision of hearts that grow not cold.

Life is generally something that happens elsewhere.

When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl - and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.

[On alcohol:] Total abstinence is an impossibility and ... it will not do to insist on it as a general practice.

Ma was legally blind due to a degenerative eye disease she'd had since birth. This meant she was entitled to welfare, and our lives revolved around the first day of every month when her payment was due.

If seeds of good humanity and good culture are sown, the reward of a rich harvest can be reaped by generation to come. education means such sowing, such implementing.

It's always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it's always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.

While tributes to Americans who had lost their lives in battle had been held in a number of towns across the nation one of the more well-known stories about the beginnings of Memorial Day is the story about General John Logan.

Yes my first memory of singing in general was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.

I did go to Wellesley a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

I think women are really good at making friends and not good at networking. Men are good at networking and not necessarily making friends. That's a gross generalization but I think it holds in many ways.

The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.

Friends are generally of the same sex for when men and women agree it is only in the conclusions their reasons are always different.

Theology in general seems to me a substitution of human ingenuity for divine wisdom.

This society in which we live is radically changing. What previous generations saw as evil is now embraced as being good. It is a dangerous and slippery slope upon which we stand when we reject what Solomon called the beginning of wisdom - the fear of God.

I don't turn to greeting cards for wisdom and advice but they are a fine reflection of the general drift of the culture.

That which seems the height of absurdity in one generation often becomes the height of wisdom in another.

Animals in their generation are wiser than the sons of men but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars and lies in a very narrow compass.
