Anna Letitia Barbauld

"We neither laugh alone, nor weep alone, why then should we pray alone?"

"When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn when man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die!"

"But every act in consequence of our faith, strengthens faith."

"The most characteristic mark of a great mind is to choose some one important object, and pursue it for life."
