the heaviest anguish often precedes a return tide of joy and courage.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.

Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.

The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end.

No ornament of a house can compare with books; they are constant company in a room, even when you are not reading them.

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.

Take me somewhere I can grow Give me something let me go Tell me something I don't know

There is a reason God limits man's days.

Authority is granted to people who are perceived as authoring their own words, their own actions, their own lives, rather than playing a scripted role at great remove from their own hearts.

You're in the arms of the Angels; may you find some comfort here.

God comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.

The money is not my mission.
