Hope does not take away your problems. It can lift you above them.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way (s)he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others like me, if I do that well enough, then I'll be able to look after someone else -- the children or the husband or the elderly. But I have to look after myself first. I know that some people think that's being selfish, I think that's being self-full.

I think that that's the wisest thing - to prevent illness before we try to cure something.

Yet it is only love which sets us free.
