You forgive yourself for every failure because you are trying to do the right thing. God knows that and you know it. Nobody else may know it.

We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone; at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.

You might encounter defeats but you must never be defeated... Love a lot. Laugh a lot at the silliest things and be very serious... love life.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim.

Only equals make friends, every other relationship is contrived and off balance.

I believe in living a poetic life, an art full life. Everything we do from the way we raise our children to the way we welcome our friends is part of a large canvas we are creating.
