It is possible at any age to discover a lifelong desire you never knew you had.

Where hope would otherwise become hopelessness, it becomes faith.

The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.

There are things I have wanted so long that I would only consent to have them if I could keep wanting them.

I wish to die knowing that I took a fleeting instant of eternity and fashioned from it a lifetime.

I sit in my garden, gazing upon a beauty that cannot gaze upon itself. And I find sufficient purpose for my day.

Family life is a daily struggle to turn love into happiness.
