Love makes all hard hearts gentle.

The best mirror is an old friend.

A great dowry is a bed full of brables. [A great dowry is a bed full of brambles.]

The honey is sweet, but the Bee stings.

You cannot make a windmill go with a pair of bellows.

A good mother is worth hundreds of schoolmasters.

The eyes have one language everywhere.

Help thyself, and God will help thee.

A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread.

If a donkey bray at you, don't bray at him.

Thou who hast given so much to me, give me one more thing... a grateful heart!

To know Christ Jesus is to seek God.

My stories are never quite good enough

In my very own self, I am part of my family.

I don’t know why we insist on pain when pain is so often easy to eliminate. It’s funny the ways we try to punish ourselves when we feel we’ve committed some crime.

It started back in '79, My whole darn future was on the line. I created a brand new sensation Through my mind and the whole darn nation.

It is not enough to wire the world if you short-circuit the soul. Technology without heart is not enough.
