When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?

Grandad has a long and earnest conversation with his grandchild. He says, you are noisy and wiggly and will be sent back if you don't pull herself together....The baby smiles complacently. She has him exactly where she wants him.

Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.

For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.

However time or circumstances may come between mother and her child, their lives are interwoven forever.

For the sake of the sons - and even for the son's future wives - a woman must keep a part of her mind and heart entirely for herself. Every family is better off with a wife and mother who can astonish and occasionally dewilder.

Dads don't need to be tall and broad-shouldered and clever. Love makes them so.
