Oh, who-reposed on some fond breast, Love's own delicious place of rest- Reading faith in the watching eyes, Feeling the heart beat with its sighs, Could know regrets, or doubts, or cares, That we had bound our fate with theirs! (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

Be still, sad heart and cease repining Behind the clouds is the sun still shining Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. View quote
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
My conscience is my crown, Contented thoughts my rest; My heart is happy in itself, My bliss is in my breast. Enough I reckon wealth; A mean the surest lot, That lies too high for base contempt, Too low for envy's shot. View quote

Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depths of some devine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more. View quote
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

George Eliot
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game - and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams. View quote
