    The kiss of the sun for pardon,
    The song of the birds for mirth,—
    One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
    Than anywhere else on earth.
    —Dorothy Frances Gurney (1858–1932)

    ... it is not the color of the skin that makes the man or the woman, but the principle formed in the soul. Brilliant wit will shine, come from whence it will; and genius and talent will not hide the brightness of its lustre.
    —Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
