I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.

The perfect human being is all human beings put together, it is a collective, it is all of us together that make perfection.

How many things I can do without!

Obligation sends the children to bed on time, but love tucks the covers in around their necks and passes out kisses and hugs. Yesterday is about experience; tomorrow is about hope; today is about transitioning from one to the other.

The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.

I don't care what people say about me. I do care about my mistakes.
