she rejoiced as only mothers can in the good fortunes of their children. Louisa May Alcott
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I... Abraham Lincoln
They say everything can be replaced, Yet every distance is not near. So I remember every face. Of every man who put me here. I see my light come shining. From the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released. Bob Dylan
The old adage, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' isn't always correct. In fact, the suspicion, cynicism, and doubt that are inherent in this belief can and does keep people from taking advantage of excellent opportunities. Richard Carlson

Be sure don't let people's telling you, you are pretty, puff you up; for you did not make yourself, and so can have no praise due to you for it. It is virtue and goodness only, that make the true beauty. Samuel Richardson
The world is a place where the extraordinary can sit just beside the ordinary with the thinnest of boundaries; that even in environments inhospitable to man, all sort of entities might thrive. Jodi Picoult
If possessing a higher degree of intelligence does not entitle one human to use another for his or her own ends, how can it entitle humans to exploit non-humans? Peter Singer
A true Seeker, one who can make a difference, must show himself to be a Seeker. The wizard doesn’t point to someone and say, ‘Here is the Sword of Truth, you will be the Seeker.’ He doesn’t really have a choice in the matter. Terry Goodkind

Forgivness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed Oprah Winfrey
It is incomprehensible to me that any thinker can calmly call himself a modernist; he might as well call himself a Thursdayite. Gilbert K. Chesterton
A woman knows she can walk away from a pot to tend something else and the pot will go on boiling; if she couldn't, this world would end at once. Barbara Kingsolver
The facts of life do not penetrate to the sphere in which our beliefs are cherished; they did not engender those beliefs, and they are powerless to destroy them; they can inflict on them continual blows of contradiction and disproof without weakening them; and an avalanche of miseries and maladies succeeding one another without interruption in the bosom of a family will not make it lose faith in either the clemency of its God or the capacity of its physician. Marcel Proust
