A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.

A child who has a grandparent has a softened view of life, the feeling that there is more to life than what we see, more than getting and gaining, winning and losing.

For all of us, whether we walk old paths or blaze new trails, friends remain important.

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first.

Power, like fear, had a taste. But power tasted better.
