How often in life we complete a task that was beyond the capability of the person we were when we started it.

We are each of us born into the arms of mortality, the Lord recognizing our need to be held.

I regret less the road not taken than my all-fired hurry along the road I took.

As you reach for understanding, you find that your ladder of facts isn’t long enough, and you try to extend it by adding a rung of faith. Eventually you see that the task is hopeless, and you put away your ladder of facts and go get a ladder of faith.

Once you find someone to share your ups and downs, downs are almost as good as ups.

When I am gone, my love, do not look for me in the places we used to go to together. Look for me in the places we always planned to go to together.

The only creature on earth whose natural habitat is a zoo is the zookeeper.
