“Edmund Burke, the eighteenth-century Irish writer and philosopher, said that manners are more important than laws.”
Henry Alford, Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That: A Modern Guide to Manners

“If you are afraid of death, you are afraid of life, for living your life leads to death. Until you face death and see its beauty, you will be afraid to really live—you will never properly burn the candle for fear of its end.”
Henry Alford, How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People
