What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

You’ve always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself. ~ L. Frank Baum (The Wizard Of Oz)

Home is the nicest word there is. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. ~ Mary Oliver

All the words that I utter, And all the words that I write,

Must spread out their wings untiring,

And never rest in their flight,

Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,

And sing to you in the night,

Beyond where the waters are moving,

Storm-darkened or starry bright.

~ W. B. Yeats

You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
