A mother's love is a blessing No matter where you roam. Keep her while you have her, You'll miss her when she's gone -- Angela's Ashes.

Stock your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it.

They can afford to smile because they all have teeth so dazzling if they dropped them in the snow they'd be lost forever.

You have to give yourself credit, not too much because that would be bragging.

After a full belly all is poetry.
