1 " There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart. "
― Jane Austen
2 " What rent do you pay here?" I inquired. " I don’t know,—what is it, Sam?" " All we make," answered Sam. It is a depressing place,—bare, unshaded, with no charm of past association, only a memory of forced human toil,—now, then, and before the war. They are not happy, these black men whom we meet throughout this region. There is little of the joyous abandon and playfulness which we are wont to associate with the plantation Negro. "
3 " The forty-four-hour week has no charm for me. I'm looking for a forty-hour day. "
4 " Society dead or alive can have no charm without intimacy and no intimacy without an interest in trifles. "
5 " A Union that can only be maintained by swords and bayonets has no charm for me. If the Union is dissolved and government disrupted, I shall return to my native state and share the miseries of my people, and save in defense will draw my sword on none. "
