We have employments assigned to us for every circumstance in life. When we are alone, we have our thoughts to watch; in the family, our tempers; and in company, our tongues.
Hannah More (1745 - 1833)

Absence in love is like water upon fire; a little quickens, but much extinguishes it.
In men this blunder still you find,- All think their little set mankind.
