The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

May all people from every nation, find power of God’s grace.

But no one is easier to delude than a parent

The first week in intelligence school, you learn there are only two conditions in life. There is policy success, or there is intel failure. There is no other condition in life.

This generation can only reach this generation.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace - business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering

And at some point, the struggle becomes too much-too tiring-and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen.

~My favorite thing about my son is that he comes home from school and the clothes go flying! Like, clothes off, right down to the undies.~

Knowledge of death is the beginning of wisdom.

A 20-year-old is never going to give death a second thought, whereas someone in their late 50s is going to think about it... I don't know, 20 times a day.

I'll make death love me; for I will contend Even with his pestilent scythe.
