Alexander Smith

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.

Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.

Trifles make up the happiness or the misery of human life.

How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.

The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman.

Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.

If you wish to make a man look noble, your best course is to kill him. What superiority he may have inherited from his race, what superiority nature may have personally gifted him with, comes out in death.
