Quotes from Susan Edmonstone Ferrier

Oh, how easy it must be to be good when one has the power of doing good!

... what will not the heart endure ere it will voluntarily surrender the hoarded treasure of its love to the cold dictates of reason or the stern voice of duty!

...the synagogin', the tabernaclin', the psalmin', that goes on in this hoose, that's enough to break the spirits o' ony young creature.
