If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that--warm things, kind things, sweet things--help and comfort and laughter--and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.
Frances Hodgson BurnettThere's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it inโthat's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do.
Frances Hodgson BurnettSoldiers don't complain...I am not going to do it; I will pretend this is part of a war.
