Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.

It was clear to me, as I glanced back over my earlier life, that a loving Providence watched over me, that all was directed for me by a higher power.

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

Now, if we only had as many casks of butter as there are people here, then I would eat lots of butter!

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

We haven't yet got eyes that can gaze into all the splendour that God has created, but we shall get them one day; and that will be the finest fairy tale of all, for we shall be in it ourselves.

How little do the wisest among us know of that which is so important to us all.
